Homework Statement
A rock is dropped from a sea cliff and the sound of it striking the ocean is heard 5.1 s later. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, how high is the cliff?
Homework Equations
d=v/t(didnt work)
The Attempt at a Solution
My first attempt at this problem was to try that formula above, but it was not the correct way to do this problem. I then realized that the time i had was the total time, and that i needed to find the time it took for the rock to hit the water, or the time it took for the speed of sound to go up, which i need distance for. I am now stuck there :(
