Question

Time in which the sonar fitted on ship record an echo is 14.6 s. If teh velocity of sound in water is 1600. Find the depth of the sea. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let, the Depth of sea is x,

Distance traveled by sound wave=2d,

Time is taken by sound to travel both ways=1.6s,

Speed of the sound =

time taken

total distance travelled

=1400m/s=

1.6s

2d

d=1120m
