Reference no: EM13491516

An explosion occurs at the end of a pier. The sound reaches the other end of the pier by traveling through three media: air, fresh water, and a slender metal handrail. The speeds of sound in air, water, and the handrail are 343, 1482, and 5040 m/s, respectively. The sound travels a distance of 150 m in each medium.After the first sound arrives, how much later do the second and third sounds arrive?
