प्रश्न

A person standing between two vertical cliffs produces a sound. Two successive echoes are heard at 4 s and 6 s. Calculate the distance between the cliffs.
संख्यात्मक

उत्तर

LetA1 andA2 be the distances of the two cliffs from the man. then
2 A1 =320 x 4=1280 ............ (i)
and, 2 A2 = 320 x 6 = 1920 .............. (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii)
2 ( A1 +A2) = 3200
or, A1 +A2 = 1600m
`therefore` distance between the two cliffs= 1600 m
