A researcher on a survey boat uses ultrasound pulses to measure the depth of the lake when the boat is positioned exactly 140 m from the jetty.

Calculate the total round-trip time of travel for the ultrasound pulse key to this measurement.

The speed of the ultrasound pulse in the lake water is 1500 m/s.
