a stone is dropped into a well with no initial velocity then the splash is heard in 4.5 sec then second stone is thrown with initial velocity "u " then the splash sound is heard after 4 sec what is the initial velocity? Take g =9.81

If nobody is around to hear the rock hit the water, did it make a sound?

I assumed the time taken by the stone to reach water as "t1" and sound wave to reach the observer as "t2"
hence for 1st condition I took
t1+t2=t... eq1
i.e. t1+t2=4.5... eq1
for stone
u=0 m/s, s= -d(considering upward direction as +ve) m ,a=g=9.81 sec, t= t1sec
s=ut+1/2at^2
for sound
u=330 m/s, a=0, t=t2 sec, s=d m
using the same formula as above: s=ut+1/2at^2
then I got d as d= 81.407m how get 2nd con I used the same steps to solve
but I got the desired one as my ans i.e. u= 3.025m/s where a the actual ans is 5.205m/s
