Given: s = 40m, v = 330 m/s

To Find: time (t)

Formula: Time = distance \(\frac{distance}{speed}\)

Calculation:

The distance travelled by the sound wave

= 2 × distance from man to wall.

= 2 × 40 = 80 m.

From formula,

∴ Time taken to travel the distance

\(\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{80}{30}\) = 0.24 s

300 men can construct a200m long wall in 12 days working 8 hours a day. In how many days can 120 men construct 180 m long wall working 9 hours per day

\(\frac{M_1D_1H_1}{W_1}=\frac{M_2D_2H_2}{W_2}\)  M1 = 300, D1 = 12, H1 = 8, W1 = 200 M2 = 120, D2 = ? H2 = 9, W2 = 180 \(\frac{300\times12\times8}{200}=\frac{120\times D\times7}{180}\) D = 24 days
