An underground explosion sends out both transverse s waves


An underground explosion sends out both transverse (S waves) and longitudinal (P waves) mechanical wave pulses (seismic waves) through the crust of the Earth. Suppose the speed of transverse waves is 8.0 km/s and that of longitudinal waves is 10.0 km/s. On one occa- sion, both waves follow the same path from a source to a detector (a seismograph); the longitudinal pulse arrives 2.0 s before the transverse pulse. What is the distance between the source and the detector?
