Problem

The speed of sound in a lake is 1470 m/s1470\,\text{m/s} at 15∘C15^{\circ}\text{C} and 1530 m/s1530\,\text{m/s} at 25∘C25^{\circ}\text{C}. An ultrasonic echo from the lake bed is received 4.0 s4.0\,\text{s} after emission at 15∘C15^{\circ}\text{C}. Keeping the depth unchanged, find the total time that will elapse between emission and reception of the echo at 25∘C25^{\circ}\text{C}.
