Some chemistry principles are required to solve this challenge.

Diagram of pond after being hit by rock. waves are just for illustration purposes and are not part of the problem.

In this Fascinating Frequencies challenge, we will cover fluid dynamics. A perfect homogeneous sphere with radius 10 cm and mass 1 kg hits the middle of a pond of pure water on earth. It’s velocity is 1 m/s downward. The temperature of the pond is a uniform 20° celsius. The pond will begin to ripple. There are no animals in the pond to interfere with this. The challenge is to calculate the frequency of the ripples.
