Question: A stone is dropped in a well which is 19.6m deep. Echo sound is heard after 2.06 sec (after dropping) then the velocity of sound is

[RPMT 1999]

Options:

A) 332.6 m/sec

B) 326.7 m/sec

C) 300.4 m/sec

D) 290.5 m/sec

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}+\frac{h}{v}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 19.6}{9.8}}+\frac{19.6}{v}=2.06 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ v=326.7 $

$ m/s $
