A boat is using echo-sounding equipment to measure the depth of the water underneath.

The equipment in the boat sends a short pulse of sound downwards and detect the echo after a time interval 4 seconds. The speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s. Calculate the depth of water!

• 6000 m

• 5800 m

• 3000 m

• 2600 m
