MCQ
A man sets his watch by a whistle that is $2\, km$ away. How much will his watch be in error. (speed of sound in air $330\, m/sec$)
- A$3$ seconds fast
- B$3$ seconds slow
- C$6$ seconds fast
- ✓$6$ seconds slow
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
$6$ seconds slow
d
(d) Time lost in covering the distance of $2\, km$ by the sound waves
(d) Time lost in covering the distance of $2\, km$ by the sound waves
$t = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{{2000}}{{330}} = 6.06\,sec \approx 6\, sec$
