Hi,
could you please help me with my homework? I want to determine the height of mountain (from foot to peak) using the speed of sound.
Known data: time delay, height1, temp1 plus known dependence between the height and temperature.
What I want to determine: height2, temp2, speed of sound cmin and cmax
I used article on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound
I tried to make some kind of integral from height1 to height2, but I failed, because I don't know the height2 (top height).
Could you please give me a clue, how to solute it?
