The depth of the ocean is 103 meters if the tsunami is moving at a speed of 320 meters per second

How to determine the depth of the ocean

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Speed = 3.1d

Where

d = distance

Also, we have

Speed = 320 meters per second

So, we have

3.1d = 320

This gives

d = 320/3.1

Evaluate

d = 103

Hence, the depth of the ocean is 103 meters

Question

Tsunamis, or large tidal waves are generated by underwater earthquakes in the Pacific Ocean. The speed of the tsunami in meters per second is 3.1d, where di is the depth of the ocean in meters.

What is the depth of the ocean (to the nearest meter) if the tsunami is moving at a speed of 320 meters per second?
