The thunder of cloud is heard 9.8 seconds later than the flash of lightning. If the speed of sound in air is `330ms^(-1)` , what will be the height of the cloud?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The height of the cloud (distance) - speed of sound `xx` time
`d=vxxt`
`=330xx9.8`
d=3224m
`:.` The height of the cloud is 3234 m
