Question
Suppose A and B in the previous problem change their positions in such a way that the line joining them becomes perpendicular to the direction of wind while maintaining the separation x. What will be the time B finds between seeing and hearing the drum beating by A?

Solution
Given:
Distance between A and B = x
Let v be the velocity of sound in the direction along line AC.
Let u be the velocity of air in the direction along line AB.
Angle between v and u = θ > \[\frac{\pi}{2}\]
Resultant velocity of sound and air that will reach B = \[\vec{AD} = \sqrt{\left( \text{ v } ^2 - \text{ u } ^2 \right)}\]
Here, the time taken by light to reach B is neglected.
∴ Time lag between seeing and hearing = Time taken to hear the sound of the drum
\[t = \frac{\text{ Displacement } }{\text{ Velocity } }\]
\[ = \frac{x}{\sqrt{\text{ v } ^2 -\text{ u } ^2}}\]

A popular game in Indian villages is goli which is played with small glass balls called golis. The goli of one player is situated at a distance of 2.0 m from the goli of the second player. This second player has to project his goli by keeping the thumb of the left hand at the place of his goli, holding the goli between his two middle fingers and making the throw. If the projected goli hits the goli of the first player, the second player wins. If the height from which the goli is projected is 19.6 cm from the ground and the goli is to be projected horizontally, with what speed should it be projected so that it directly hits the stationery goli without falling on the ground earlier?
