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
The time taken equals 60s
Hence, the distance travelled by sound is 12,000 m
Hence, the depth is $$6000^2-500^2=1250\sqrt{23}$$
