You are hiking and come to a ledge overlooking a small canyon with a sheer, vertical rock face across the canyon. You clap your hands once, loudly and 2.18 seconds later you hear the echo. If the air temperature is 100.13 degrees Fahrenheit, how far from you is the wall of the canyon? Enter a number of meters in the format ### with no decimal point.

The answer is in the images. Page number is mentioned at right top. Here I consider the general value of velocity of sound, i.e 346 m/s in 25°C in calculation. You can approximate the answer as 385 m, if you don't want decimal point.

An astronaut shipwrecked on a distant planet is on top of a sheer vertical cliff (let’s call it point P), which he wishes somehow to climb down. He does not know the acceleration due to gravity on the planet, and he has only a good watch with which to make measurements. He wants to learn the height of the cliff (from P down to the bottom). To do this,he makes two measurements. 1) He drops a rock fall from rest...
