Krakatoa: The Great Volcanic Eruption

New Netflix documentary highlights ordinary people who became heroes amid 2019 volcano eruption

In 1883, the volcano Krakatoa exploded, injecting dust 32 km up into the atmosphere. Fallout from this explosion continued for 15 months. If one assumes that the settling velocity of the particles was constant and neglects slip correction, what was the minimum particle size present? Assume that the particles are rock spheres with a density of 2700 kg/m^3.

One of the loudest sounds in recent history was that made by the explosion of Krakatoa on August 26-27,1883. According to barometric measurements, the sound had a decibel level of 180  dB at a distance of 161  km. Assuming the intensity falls off as the inverse of the distance squared, what was the decibel level on Rodriguez Island, 4800  km away? | Numerade
