A column of soldiers, marching at 114 steps per minute, keep in step with the beat of a drummer at the head of the column. It is

observed that the soldiers in the rear end of the column are striding forward with the left foot when the drummer is advancing with the right. What is the approximate length of the column? (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)

Answer:

length of column is 140.42 m

Explanation:

in 1 min the soldiers travels 114 steps

so to complete 1 step the time taken by the soldiers =

t =  \dfrac{1\ min}{114}

t =  \dfrac{60}{114}  

t = 0.526 s

speed of sound = 343 m/s

length of the column = v × t

                                   = 343 m/s × 0.526 s

                                   = 140.42 m

hence the length of column is 140.42 m

uphill at a rate of 2.5 mi/h from the base of a 6-mi trail. At the same time, Edwin walks downhill at a rate of 3.5 mi/h from th
uranmaximum [27]
<h2>After 1 hour they meet.</h2>

Explanation:

Distance between them = 6 miles

Speed of uphill person = 2.5 miles per hour

Speed of downhill person = 3.5 miles per hour

Relative velocity = 2.5 - ( -3.5 ) = 6 miles per hour

We know

         Displacement = Velocity x Time

         6 = 6 x Time taken

Time taken = 1 hour

After 1 hour they meet.
