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.
