A stone dropped from the top of a tower...

A stone dropped from the top of a tower of height 300 m high splashes into the water of a pong near the base of the tower. When is the splash heard at the top ? Given that the speed of sound in air is `340ms^(-1)? (g=9.8ms^(-2)`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of when the splash is heard at the top of the tower after a stone is dropped, we need to calculate two times: the time it takes for the stone to fall to the water and the time it takes for the sound of the splash to travel back up to the top of the tower. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the time taken for the stone to fall:** - We will use the second equation of motion: \[ S = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 ...
