A sound wave is used to measure the distance from the ship to the sea bed. An electronic device placed in the ship traces a pulse sent from the ship and reflected pulse that returns. The time-base setting for the x-axis is 60 ms per division. The speed of sound wave in water is `1500 m s^(-1)`. Find the distance from the ship to the sea bed.

A
