Question 28

A maintenance robot is inside an empty storage tank. Its ultrasound sensor is 6.8 m from wall P and 15.3 m from wall Q. The sensor sends a separate pulse directly towards each wall and detects the returning echo. The speed of ultrasound in the air is 340 m/s.

What is the difference between the return times of the two echoes?
