Trying to determine its depth, a rock climber drops a pebble into a chasm and hears the pebble strike the ground 3.74 s later. (A) If the speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s at the rock climber's location, what is the depth of the chasm? (B) What is the percentage of error that would result from assuming the speed of sound is infinite?

A man drops a rock into a well. (a) The man hears the sound of the splash 2.40 s after he releases the rock from rest. The speed of sound in the air (at the ambient temperature) is 336 m/s. How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water? (b) WHAT IF? If the travel time for the sound is ignored, what percentage error is introduced when the depth of the well is calculated?
