Other day, I bumped my bookshelf and a coin fell down. This gave me an idea. Is it possible to compute the mass of a coin, based on the sound emitted when it falls?

I think that there should be a way to do it. But how?

OP is high as fuck

Yes,
The energy disappated through sound (ignoring heat) is equal to the amount of energy previously stored gravitationally. Finding v through the acceleration of gravity g and the height, we can solve for m, the mass of the coin. Good luck finding something to measure the sound emittedin joules though...

brainlet here
ever heard of eigen values and eigen frequencies?
i guess should be one of these problems
>>
>>8546330

Only if you know both the height the coin falls AND the material properties of the surface it hits.

this. and if it hits something like sand or dirt rather than a solid object, good luck.
>>8546357
no

You cannot because sound isn't the only (or even the main) form of converted energy (that being the shock wave of the material).

I also don't know the solid matter physics behind shock waves so don't ask me to go into further detail.
>>
No because the angle with which it hits the floor changes the sound signature
>>
>>8546459
the rigidity can affect the bounce as well as the mass, so you're stuck there.
