Given:
Time after which the ship receives the sound= 3.5 seconds
To find:
The depth of the sea.
Solution
The speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s
Using the following relation:
Distance= speed* time
Putting the values in the equation we get:
= 1500* 3.5
On calculating the values we get the following answer:
= 5250 m
Therefore the depth of the sea is 5250 m.
