The speed of sound in steel is vs = 6100 m/s while in air the speed of sound is va = 343 m/s. Write an equation for the time it takes the sound to reach you through the air if the distance to the train is represented by D. Write an equation for the time it takes the sound to reach you through the steel if the distance to the train is represented by D. Use the difference in these two times to write an equation for the distance to the train. For the given information find the distance to the train in metersarrow_forward

- The sonar unit on a boat is designed to measure the depth of fresh water (p = 1.00 x 103 kg/m³, Bad = 2.20 x 109 Pa). When the boat moves into salt water (p = 1025 kg/m³, Bad = 2.37 x 109 Pa), the sonar unit is no longer calibrated properly. In salt water, the sonar unit indicates the water depth to be 8.87 m.
