A man standing in front of a mountain beats a drum at regular intervals. The drumming rate is gradually increased and he finds that echo is not heard distinctly when the rate becomes `40` per minute. He then moves near to the mountain by `90` metres and finds that echo is again not heard distinctly when the drumming rate becomes `60` per minute. Calculate (a) the distance between the mountain and the initial position of the man and (b) the velocity of sound.

A man standing in front of a mountain at a certain distance beats a drum at refular intervals. He increases the beating rate and finds that the echo is not heard distinctly when the rate becomes 40 per minute. He then moves nearer to the mountain by 90 m and finds that the echo is again not heard when the beating rate is 60 per minute. Calculate the velocity of sound and the distance between the mountain and the initial position of the man.

A man standing in front of mountain at a certain distance beats a drum at regular intervals. The drumming rate is gradually increased and finds that the echo is not heard distinctly when the rate becomes 40 per minute. If the velocity of sound in air is 340 m/s, then the distance between the man and mountain is

A man-standing in front of a vertical wall at a certain distance beats a drum at regular intervals. The drumming rate is gradually increased and he find that the echo is not heard distinctly when the drumming rate becomes 2 beats in 3 seconds. He then moves nearer to the wall by 90m and finds the echo is again not heard when the drumming rate becomes 1 per second. From this data, the velocity of sound must be
