Problem

At 20∘C20^{\circ}\text{C}, a student standing at a distance dd from a vertical cliff claps and hears the echo after 2.4 s2.4\,\text{s}. Two weeks later, when the temperature is 40∘C40^{\circ}\text{C}, he moves 60 m60\,\text{m} closer to the cliff and now hears the echo after 2.0 s2.0\,\text{s}. Taking the temperature dependence of sound speed into account, calculate the original distance dd (in m). (a) 400400 (b) 433433 (c) 412412 (d) 500500
