A cable with a linear density of =0.2 kg/m is hung from telephone poles. The tension in the cable is 500.00 N. The distance between poles is 20 meters.

P and S waves from an earthquake travel at different speeds, and thisdifference helps locate the earthquake “epicenter” (where the disturbancetook place). Assuming typical speeds of 8.5km/s and 5.5 km/s for P and Swaves, respectively, how far away did an earthquake occur if a particularseismic station detects the arrival of these two types of waves 1.5 minapart?
A seismograph records the S- and P-waves from an earthquake 20.00 s apart. If they traveled the same path at constant wave speeds of vS = 4.00 km/s and vP = 7.50 km/s, how far away is the epicenter of the earthquake?
