Time taken by the sonar pulse to return, t = 1.02 s
Speed of sound in salt water, v = 1531 m s−1
Distance of the cliff from the submarine = Speed of sound × Time taken
Distance of the cliff from the submarine = 1.02 x 1531 = 1561.62m
Distance travelled by the sonar pulse during its transmission and reception in water = 2 × Actual distance = 2d
Actual Distance , d = (Distance of the cliff from the submarine)/2 = 1561.62/2 = 780.31 m
