Two microphones are placed 5.0 m5.0\,\text{m} apart along a straight line. A hand clap occurs in front of the first microphone, and the second microphone detects it 0.015 s0.015\,\text{s} after the first. Determine the speed of sound. a) 6.7×102 m/s6.7\times10^{2}\,\text{m/s} b) 3.0×102 m/s3.0\times10^{2}\,\text{m/s} c) 1.7×102 m/s1.7\times10^{2}\,\text{m/s} d) 3.3×102 m/s3.3\times10^{2}\,\text{m/s}
