Chapter 2, Problem 2.30P
A student drops a water-filled balloon from the roof of the tallest building in town trying to hit her roommate on the ground (who is too quick). The first student ducks back but hears the water splash 4.021 s after dropping the balloon. If the speed of sound is 331 m/s, find the height of the building, neglecting air resistance.

(a) A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 35 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.84 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the
speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
m/s
(b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound
of the splash 2.84 s after kicking the rock?

- A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway?
