Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Chapter 1, Problem 33P

The Moment Magnitude Scale (MMS), denoted Mw, which measures the total energy released by an earthquake, is given by:

M W = 2 3 log 10 M 0 − 10.7

where M0is the magnitude of the seismic moment in dyne-cm (measure of the energy released during an earthquake). Determine how many times more energy was released from the largest earthquake in the world, in Chile (MW= 8.7), 1960, than the earthquake in Rat Island, Alaska (MW= 8.7), in 1965.
