A stone dropped from the top of a tower of height 300 m high splashes into the water of a pond 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)`).

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to calculate two time intervals: 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 1: Calculate the time taken for the stone to fall

We can use the second equation of motion for this calculation:

\[
s = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2
