A girl stands 170 m away from a high wall and claps her hands at a steady rate so that each clap coincides with the echo of the one before. a) If she makes 60 claps in 1 minute, what value should be the speed of sound in air? b) Now, she moves to another location and finds that she should now make 45 claps in 1 minute to coincide with successive echoes. Calculate her distance for the new position from the wall.
As per the given condition in the question we can list some data as, distance d = 170 …
