Velocity of the transverse waves produced with earthquake

Reference no: EM13676619

The velocity of the transverse waves produced with an earthquake is 8.9 km/s, and that of the longitudinal waves is 5.1 km/s. A seismograph records the arrival of the transverse waves 73 s before the arrival of the longitudinal waves. How far away was the earthquake?
