Charles Richter defined the magnitude of an earthquake to be M = log_(10) (I/S) , where I is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the amplitude of a seismograph reading taken 100 km from the epicentre of the earthquake) and S is the intensity of a ''standed earthquake'' (whose amplitude is 1 micron =10^(-1) cm). Each number increase on the Richter scale indicates an intensity ten times stronger. For example. an earthquake of magnitude 5. An earthquake of magnitude 7 is 100 times stronger then an earthquake of magnitude 5. An earthquake of magnitude 8 is 1000 times stronger than an earthquake of magnitude 5. The earthquake in city A registered 8.3 on the Richter scale. In the same year, another earthquake was recorded in city B that was four times stronger. What was the magnitude of the earthquake in city B ?
