AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the velocity of sound in air given that a stone is dropped into a well and the splash is heard 4.23 seconds later. The depth of the well is 78.4 meters. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - The total time taken from dropping the stone to hearing the splash is 4.23 seconds. - This total time consists of two parts: the time taken for the stone to fall (T1) and the time taken for the sound to travel back up the well (T2). ...
