प्रश्न
An observer sitting in line of two tanks watches the flashes of two tanks firing at each other at the same time, but he hears the sounds of two shots 2s and 3.5s after seeing the flashes. If distance between the two tanks is 510m, find the speed of sound.

उत्तर
Time taken by the observer to hear the sound of the first tank A= 3.5s
Time taken by the observer to hear the sound of the second tank B = 2s
Time taken by the tank B to hear the sound of tank A= (3.5 - 2)s = 1.5s
Distance between the two tanks = 510m
Speed = 510/1.5=340m/s
