Answer:
The speed of sound is 366.67 m/s.
Explanation:
height, h = 44 m
total time, T = 3.12 s
Let the time taken by the stone to hit the water is t.
use second equation of motion
[tex]h = u t + 0.5 gt^2\\\\44 = 0.5\times 9.8 t^2\\\\t = 3 s[/tex]
Time taken by sound to g up
t'=T - t = 3.12- 3 = 0.12 s
The speed of sound is
[tex]v = \frac{h}{t'}\\\\v = \frac{44}{0.12}\\\\v = 366.7 m/s[/tex]
