What is the deepest hole in the world?

Hi,

just saw an documentary about "the deepest hole in the world" on NG:

Can anyone tell what it is, and what is the exact quotation to determine the height

hi there,
welcome to PF

Sorry but I have a lot of problems believing that video. I suspect some of the sound effects have been added

here is a wiki link to that is the deepest borehole drilled

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_Boreholeso, if nothing else, the title of that video is false for a startcheers

Never, ever was this a fall of about 12km.
Edit: Seems to be a new record on how fast Murdoch ruined a once excellent tv channel.

Never, ever was this a fall of about 12km.

If you not to consider resistance forces (like air resistance), then
##h=v \cdot(t + \frac{v}{g}- v \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{g}\cdot(\frac{1}{g}+\frac{2\cdot t}{v})})≈4100*m≈4*km##
where:

• h is depth of hole h≈4102.3*m
  
• t is time from droping stone until hearing the the stone hit somebody t≈41*s
  
• g is gravitational acceleration g≈9.8*m/s²
• v is speed of sound v≈340*m/s

It is quite bad approximation, because the stone surely did not go break sound barrier. Real depth is smaller.
video sound may be fake.

Fake video. Thread closed.
