Good Morning. Can you help me on this question please?

Miners are deep below ground, working on a metal pipe in the mine shaft that goes up to the surface. The workers bang on the pipe and yell out loudly to talk to one another. If a worker is coming down the mine shaft to join the team, what will he hear first?

A. He will not hear anything until he gets very close because sound waves travel very slowly.
B. He will hear the workers yelling first because sound waves travel through air faster than they travel through metal.
C. He will hear the banging on the pipe first because sound waves travel through metal faster than they travel through the air.
D. He will hear banging on the pipes and the workers yelling at the same time because sound waves travel at the same speed through metal and air.

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
