Answer to Problem 69A
Theearthquake is at a distance of
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The transverse speed is
The longitudinal speed is
Arrival of the transverse waves is
Formula used:
The formula for the distance is given by,
Calculation:
Suppose that the earthquake is at the distance d and it takes t seconds for the transverse waves to arrive to the shore:
For the longitudinal waves:
Therefore:
Calculate the distance.
Conclusion:
Hence, the earthquake is at a distance of
