Answer 2

$\boxed{\huge{\mathfrak{\red{ Answer :- }}}}$

• Height of the tower, s = 500 m

• Velocity of sound, v = 340 m sˆ’1

• Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m sˆ’2

• Initial velocity of the stone, u = 0 (since the stone is initially at rest)

• Time taken by the stone to fall to the base of the tower, t1

According to the second equation of motion:

$\rm S = ut_1 + 1/2 g t_1^2$

$\rm 500 = 0 \times t_1 + 1/2 \times 10 \times t_1^2$

$\rm t_1^2 = 100$

$\rm t_1 = 10s$

Now, time taken by the sound to reach the top from the base of the tower,

$\rm t_2= 500/340 = 1.47 s$

Therefore, the splash is heard at the top after time, t

Where, $\rm t= t_1 + t_2 = 10 + 1.47 = 11.47 s.$
