AI Generated Solution

To find the time taken for sound to travel a distance of 1700 meters in water, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Time} (t) = \frac{\text{Distance} (d)}{\text{Speed} (v)} \] ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Distance (d) = 1700 meters - Speed of sound in water (v) = 1360 m/s ...
