A stone is dropped from the top of a tower 750 m high into a pond of water at the base of the tower. When is the splash heard at the top ? (Given g=10 ms^(-2) and speed of sound =340 m s^(-1)).

Answer»

SOLUTION :Height = 750M
`h=ut+0.5 g t^(2)`
The INITIAL velocity is 0
`750=0.5 xx 10 xx t^(2)`
`t=10sec`
Speed of sound is 340m/sec
So, time TAKEN to travel 750m upwards is,
`750/340=2.20s`
time taken `=10+2.20=12.2 sec`.
