Math Problem Statement
You are climbing in the High Sierra when you suddenly find yourself at the edge of a fog-shrouded cliff. To find the height of this cliff, you drop a rock from the top; 8.20 s later you hear the sound of the rock hitting the ground at the foot of the cliff. If you ignore air resistance, how high is the cliff if the speed of sound is 330 m/s ?
