Height of the tower, h = 300 m

Initial velocity of the stone, u = 0

Acceleration, a = g = 9.8 m/ s2

Speed of sound in air, V = 340 m/s

The time taken by the stone (t), to strike the water can be calculated from the relation

s =us + 12 a t2 as

300 = 0 + 12*9.8*t2 or t = 7.82 s

Time taken by the sound to reach the top of t
