Answer 2

An epicenter station is 5,600 km away. How long after the first P-wave did the first S-wave arriv​

Given :

d ( distance ) = 5600 km

t ( time constant ) = 8 seconds

TD ( Time difference ) = ? unknown

The formula of determining the distance of Earthquake epicenter from the seismic station is ( d = TD / 8 s × 100 km )

TD ( Time difference in the arrival of P-wave and S-wave )

we can use the formula (TD = d × 8 s / 100 km ) in order to solve the time difference in the arrival of P-wave and S-wave.

TD = d × 8 s / 100 km

    =  5600 km × 8 s / 100 km

    = 44,800 km·s / 100 km

    = 448 seconds
