A SONAR (sound navigation and ranging) uses ultrasonic waves to detect and locate objects under water. In a submarine equipped with a SONAR , the time delay between generation of a probe wave and the reception of its echo after reflection from an enemy submarine is found to be 77.0s. What is the distance of the enemy submarine ? (Speed of sound in water = `1450 ms^(-1))`.

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside the Earth. Unlike gases, the Earth can experience both transverse and longitudinal sound waves. Typically the speed of S wave is about 4.0 kms^(-1) and that of P wave is 8.0 kms^(-1) . A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake . The first P waves arrives 4 min before the first S wave. Assuming the waves traveling straight line, at what distanc does the earthquake occur ?
