AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the distance of the submarine from the ship based on the time taken for the sound signal to travel to the submarine and back. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - A ship sends a signal to a submarine and receives it back after 4 seconds. - The speed of sound in water is given as 1450 m/s. ...
