Homework Statement
A stone is dropped into a well. The splash is heard 3 seconds later. What is the depth of the well?
Homework Equations
the change in t= change in length/ velocity of sound
The Attempt at a Solution
V= 343 m/s which is the speed of sound
Ok I solved for depth. I made L=d. Then my equation looked like this. D= t * v
D= (3s) * 343 m/s = 1029 meters
The answer is 41 meters if you round off. I've seen solutions to this problem, but I need a walkthrough as to how to do it because I don't understand how the experts on cramster solved this problem.
