Problem

A wind of 10 m/s10\,\text{m/s} is blowing from a student towards a distant building. The air temperature is 25∘C25^{\circ}\text{C}. The student claps and hears the echo of the clap after 1.8 s1.8\,\text{s}. Using the relation vair=331+0.6T (in m/s)v_{air}=331+0.6T\,(\text{in m/s}), calculate the distance between the student and the building, taking wind effect into account.
