A stone is dropped from the top of a tower 750 m high into a pond of water at the base of the tower. When is the splash heard at the top ? (Given g=10 ms^(-2) and speed of sound =340 m s^(-1) ).

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?

A small source of sound S of frequency 500 Hz is attached to the end of a light string and is whirled in a vertical circle of radius 1.6 in. The string just remains tight when the source is at the highest point. (a) An observer is located in the same vertical plane at a large distance and at the same height as the centre of the circle. The speed of sound in air = 330 m s^-1 and g = 10ms^-2 . Find the maximum frequency heard by the observer. (b) An observer is situated at a large distance vertically above the centre of the circle. Find the frequencies heard by the observer corresponding to the sound emitted by the source When it is at the same height as the centre. ltbr.

A frequency generator with fixed frequency of 343 Hz is allowed to vibrate above a 1.0 m high tube . A pump is switched on to fill the water slowly in the tube . In order to get resonance , what must be the minimum height of the water ? (Speed of sound in air is 343 ms^(-1) ) .

Two electric trains run at the same speed of 72 km h^-1 along the same track and in the same direction with a separation of 2.4 km between them. The two trains simultaneously sound brief whistles. A person is situated at a perpendicular distance of 500 m from the track and is equidistant from the two trains at the instant of the whistling. If both the whistles were at 500 Hz and the speed of sound in air is 340 m s^-1 , find the frequencies heard by the person.
