Two observers are stationed in two boats 4.5 km apart. A sound signal sent by one,under water, reaches the other after 3 seconds. What is the speed of sound in the water?
Distance between two observers, d = 4 .54 km
To find : speed of sound, `V = d/t=` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Speed of sound , in water,
`V = d/t = 4.5/3 km//s= 1.5km//s (or)1500 m//s`
