Let h = distance (m) to the water surface.
Initial velocity, u = 0 (because the stone was dropped).
Use the formula
h = ut + (1/2)gt^2
where g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acc. due to graity)
t = time (s)
h = (1/2)*(9.8)*(3^2) = 44.1 m
Winds are named based on which compass direction the wind is blowing. For example some common ones are NE or N or SE or SW. NE stands for Northeast, N for North, SE for South East and SW for Southwest.
It has been hypothesized, and some studies have supported the conjecture,
that certain species of insects and birds are able to sense the direction of external
magnetic fields.
I don't think there is any such notion where human beings are concerned.
