c = speed of sound
9.8 = acceleration of gravity
Td = time dropping
Ts = time for sound to rise
Ts = h/c
4.5 = Ts + Td = h/c + Td
Td = (4.5-h/c)
h = (1/2) 9.8 Td^2
h = 4.9 (4.5-h/c)^2
put in the speed of sound your class uses
solve for h
9.8 = acceleration of gravity
Td = time dropping
Ts = time for sound to rise
Ts = h/c
4.5 = Ts + Td = h/c + Td
Td = (4.5-h/c)
h = (1/2) 9.8 Td^2
h = 4.9 (4.5-h/c)^2
put in the speed of sound your class uses
solve for h
