Question 114

A ship is moving at a speed of 30 km/hr. To know the depth of the ocean beneath it, it sends a radio wave which travels at a speed 200 m/s. The ship receives the signal after it has moved 500 m. The depth of the ocean is

Solution

The time taken equals 60s

Hence, the distance travelled by sound is 12,000 m

Hence, the depth is $$6000^2-500^2=1250\sqrt{23}$$
