Question

Neha dropped a stone into a very deep well. She heard the sound only after 6.53 seconds after she dropped the stone. Find the depth of the river if the acceleration due to gravity=10m/s² and the velocity of the sound is 340m/s

Solution

s=ut+1/2gt^2

here initial velocity u=0

so s=1/2gt^2
g=10 t=6.53
therefore distance s=1/2*10*6.53*6.53
=5*6.53*6.53
=213.2m
