A tuning fork vibrating with a frequency of 512 Hz is kept close to the open end of
a tube filled with water (Figure). The water level in the tube is gradually lowered. When the water level is 17 cm below the open end, the maximum intensity of sound is heard. If the room temperature is 20°C, calculate

The earth has a radius of 6400 km. The inner core of1000 kmradius is solid. Outside it, there is a region from1000 km to a radius of 3500 km which is in the molten state. Then again from 3500 km to 6400 km the earth is solid. Only longitudinal (P) waves can travel inside a liquid. Assume that the P wave has a speed of 8 km/s in solid parts and of 5 km/s in liquid parts of the earth. An earthquake occurs someplace close to the surface of the earth. Calculate the time after which it will be recorded in a seismometer at a diametrically opposite point on the earth if wave travels along diameter.
