Solution
36 km/ hr can be converted into m/ s to compare with 8.5m/ s.
36 km/ hr = {36 x 1000) / 3600 = 10 m/ s which is greater than
8.5 m/ s So 36 km/ hr is greater than 8.5 m/ s.

A girl had designed a clap switch for a science exhibition that enabled her to switch on or off an alarm just with clapping of hands.
