A boy whistles once at a distance 250 m from a vertical cliff. If the temperature in the surrounding is 50C .If the speed of sound = (331.5m/s at 00c) the speed in air increases at about 0.6 m/s per 0C,

  1. Determine the distance travelled by sound.
  2. Determine the speed travelled at 50C. 
  3. Calculate the time taken for the boy to hear the echo

  1. Distance travelled =  2d = 250 x2 =500m
  2. Speed at 5ºC = 331.5+ (0.6 × 5) = 334.5m/s
  3. Time taken = distance/speed = 500/334.5
