Problem

A single crystal of sapphire at low temperatures and appropriate suspension has an energy loss of 10−8 of the oscillation energy per period in vacuum at the first harmonic. How many times will these losses increase when vibrating in air? The density of sapphire is 3⋅\cdot103 kg/cm3, the speed of sound in air is 330 m/s, the density of air is 1.3 kg/m3
