Question

A stone is dropped from a tower of height H metre on the upper surface of a well having water at depth d metre. If g is the acceleration due to gravity, then the time when the sound of splashing will be heard from the time of dropping the stone is [Take speed of sound in air = 330 m/s]

Solution

The correct option is C 2(H+d)g+(H+d330) s
Let t1 be the time taken by the stone to cover the distance d+H and t2 be the time taken by the sound to come back to the dropping point by covering the distance d+H.

Time when the splashed sound is heard, T=t1+t2

For downward motion of stone:

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = g

Distance covered, s = d + H

Using second equation of motion, s=ut+12at2d+H=0×t+12g(t1)2t1=2(d+H)g....(i)

Sound travels a distance (s=d+H) to reach the dropping point of stone. Speed of sound, v=330 m/s

Time taken by sound,t2=sv=d+H330...(ii)T=t1+t2=[2(H+d)g+(H+d330)]s

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
