Answer:
depth of well is 163.30 m
Explanation:
Given data
speed of sound = 343 m/s
timer = 6.25 s
to find out
depth of well
solution
let us consider depth d
so equation will be
depth = 1/2 ×g ×t² ..............1
and
depth = velocity of sound × time .................2
here we have given time 6.25 that is sum of 2 time
when stone reach at bottom that time
another is sound reach us after stone strike on bottom
so time 1 + time 2 = 6.25 s
so from equation 1 and 2 we get
1/2 ×g ×t² = velocity of sound × time
1/2 ×9.8 × t1² = 343 × (6.25 - t1 )
t1 = 5.77376 sec
so height = 1/2 ×g ×t²
height = 1/2 ×9.8 × (5.773)²
height = 163.30 m
