RAJASTHAN PMT Rajasthan - PMT Solved Paper-1999

  • question_answer
    A stone is dropped in 19.6 metre depth well, echo is heard in 2.06 second, then velocity of sound is:

    A)  315.2m/s           

    B)         320.5 m/s

    C)  326.7 m/s          

    D)         332.4 m/s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Time taken by stone to touch water \[t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 19.6}{9.8}}=2\,\sec \] Time taken by echo to reach observer \[=2.06-2=0.06.\,\sec \] \[\therefore \]velocity of sound \[\upsilon =\frac{19.6}{0.06}=326.7\,m/s\]
