Rear of Brinds' home, with well. |
The Brinds' well...
 | It is so deep that when a stone was dropped into it, the sound of the
stone's landing at the bottom took 7 seconds to reach us. The
scientists among us therefore know the depth of the well: - ? (click
here for answer)
 | Allow 6.5 seconds for the stone to fall and another 0.5 seconds for
the sound to travel back to us. |
| Distance = ½ g t2 where g = acceleration due to gravity =
32 ft/sec/sec and t = 6.5 sec. |
| Hence, depth of well = 676 feet = 210 metres approx. |
