A man drops a rock into a well, (a) The man hears the sound of the splash 2.40 s after he releases the rock from rest. The speed of sound in air (at the ambient temperature) is 336 m/s. How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water? (b) What If? II the travel time for the sound is ignored, what percentage error is introduced when the depth of the well is calculated?
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model? Figure P3.42

You are standing next to an old well. You want to know how far down the surface of the water is (you are very thirsty), so you hold a rock above the well and drop it. You measure the amount of time between when you release the rock and when you year the splash produced when the stone hits the water at the bottom of the well to be T. You know that the speed of sound in air is vº and the acceleration due to gravity is g. Neglecting air resistance, find the depth of the well.
