OMG, this should be in Physics sections not riddles, but wht the heck, here is the answer:
1st calculte the time needed so the coin hit the will:
t1= d/V2, d=7m
mgh = m(V2^2 -V1^2), V1=0, h=7
9.8*7 = V2^2 -----> V2 =8.3
t1= 0.84 sec
now the time so the sound to get to Glenda
t2= d/Vs Vs =343m/s d=7
t2= 0.02 sec
t= t1+t2 =0.86 sec
it will take
OMG, I can't believe tht i'm actually answeing this, Errrrrrg
U better give me 10pts as best answer, bcs i'm the only who had bothered himself answering u.



plz tell me tht it is not a riddle or i'll really feel stuiped.

The well is dry, she be waiting a long time.

0.0204 seconds after it hits the water, so lets say, 1.5204 seconds approximately.

At a guess.......!

Very best regards

The well is dry....so there will not be a splash...!!

if glenda jumps down the well as she drops it she wont hear the coin splash as the noise from her hitting the water will cover the sound
