A stone is dropped into a well. If the depth of water below the top be `h` and velocity of sound is `v` then the splash in water is heard after `T` sec. Then:

A

`T = sqrt(((2 h)/(g))) = (h)/(v)`

B

`T = 2 sqrt(((2 h)/(g)))`

C

`T = (2 h)/(v)`

D

`T = sqrt(((2 h)/(g))) xx (h)/(v)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`h = (1)/(2)g t_(1)^(2) rArr t_(1) = sqrt((2h)/(g))`
`t_(2) = (h)/(v)`
`T = t_(1) + t_(2) = sqrt((2h)/(g)) + (h)/(v)`
