30+ second drop. Do the math. Located near Dugway Proving Grounds ("Area 52") in Western Utah. They test a lot of top secret stuff underground out there. Banging sound is caused by the rock bouncing off the sides of the hole as it drops. This hole is a few miles away from Dugway's UAV blimp base; the blimp is visible just down the valley from the hole. We dropped a lit bottle rocket in upside down, and we could observe the flash from the report several hundred feet down, so we know it straight for at least that far. What should we drop down next?

  • Δx = 0.5*g*t1^2; Equation for the distance the stone fell.

    Δx = v*t2; Equation for sound to travel back up.

    the time recorded is t = 34s = t1 + t2. Make the equations as functions t(Δx):

    t1 = sqrt(Δx*2/g) and t2 = Δx/v this gets ut to the expression:

    t = sqrt(Δx*2/g) + (Δx/v). With the parameters: speed of sound: v = 340, gravitational acceleration: g = 9.82, we get: sqrt(Δx*2/9.82) + (Δx/340) = 34, this will get us:

    Δx = 3065.08m = 10 056.0367 feet.

    physics or timecheck wrong?! O.o

  • imagine if it fell into some kind of area 51 base and hit some FBI dude in the head XD

  • The video wiil be better if you put like a 10,000 feet rope and drop it down. Thumbs Up?

  • @Souliee remeber there is probably a massive amount of friction from the rock hitting the sides

  • What if they dropped their camera in there lol

  • Get a camera,glue a flashlight on it and then drop it in the hole...do a livestream on youtube and record it so we can see where it goes...

  • try taking a shit in the hole. maybe it hits a hobo in the head or something?

  • @Souliee If we make it simpler, the stone would have a terminal velocity of I imagine about 50 km/h and if we forget the time it takes for the stone to reach it it's 50km/h = 13.8m/s * 30s = 416m. Probably a better guess.

  • dude im gonna have nightmares

  • What needs to go down there next is a Flip camera on a string, with a glow stick tied to the string below the camera, and another above it, so if theres an opening area, you might be able to see what down there. Just my opinion.
