    A stone is dropped into a lake from a tower of 500 m height. The sound of splash will be heard after

    A)  11.5 s                   

    B)  21 s

    C)  3.75 s                   

    D)  10 s

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[h=ut+\frac{1}{2}g\,{{t}^{2}}\] \[500=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 10\,{{t}^{2}}\] \[5{{t}^{2}}=500\] \[t=10\,s\] \[\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Height}\,\text{of}\,\text{tower}}{\text{Velocity}\,\text{of}\,\text{sound}}\] \[=\frac{500}{330}=1.5\,s\] Hence the sound of splash will be \[={{l}_{0}}+1.3=11.5\,s\]
