A ship equipped with a sonar produces an ultrasonic sound wave. The wave took 2 s to reach the receiver after being reflected by a sunken ship directly below it. If the velocity of waves in sea water is 1450 m/s, find the depth at which sunken ship is located.

An ultrasonic wave is sent from a ship towards the bottom of the sea. It is found that the time interval between the sending and the receiving of the wave is 1.5 second.

The depth of the sea [if the velocity of sound in sea water is 1400 m s^-1] is:
