If the pipe is 700 meters long how much time elapses


The speed of sound in air is approximately 340 m/s. The speed of sound in steel is approximately 5900 m/s. If your friend strikes one end of a steel pipe with a hammer while you listen at the other end, you will hear two distinct sounds: one traveling through the air and the other traveling through the steel pipe. If the pipe is 700 meters long, how much time elapses between the two sounds?
