(a) We can model the two mountains as two walls placed some distance apart. Suppose our
distance from the nearer mountain is d1; and from the farther mountain, d2. The 1 second
echo is received after the sound travels d1, bounces and travels d1 back to us
Thus, 2d1= 330*1; similarly, 2d2=330*2
2(d1+d2)=330*3=990; therefore d1+d2= 495m
(b) The next echo should be 1 second later (i.e. 3 seconds after initial yell)

This can be shown to be equivalent to all three resistors in parallel, so the total resistance is R/3.

the feather side has more volume so it is experiences more bouyant force. So, in the balancing
situation, the feathers in fact have more mass than1kg
On top of mt everest, since there is less atmospheric pressure, the bouyant force acting on the feathers
will be less,, so the lead weights side of the balance will shoot up.
