s waves are about 60% slower than p waves, so basicaly p waves are about twice as fast. The actual time in like minutes or hours depends on where the epicenter is, and where you are recording from

P-waves are faster than S-waves, so the arrival time of a P-wave is shorter than that of an S-wave. This time difference can help seismologists determine the distance between the seismic event and the seismometer station.

the p wave is more stronger than the s wave one breaks it up and the other one shakes it rapidly.

How do you do you locate earthquake epicenter?

Earthquake epicenters are located using data from seismographs that record the arrival times of seismic waves. By analyzing the time differences between when the seismic waves arrive at different stations, seismologists can triangulate the epicenter. This process helps determine the exact location on the Earth's surface where the earthquake originated.

A string of linear density 1.5 gm is under a tension of 20 N. What should its length be if its fundamental resonance frequency is 220 Hz?

The fundamental frequency of a string fixed at both ends is given by ( f = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} ), where ( f = 220 , \text{Hz} ), ( T = 20 , \text{N} ), and ( \mu = 1.5 , \text{g/m} ). Solving for ( L ), we find that the length of the string should be approximately 0.228 meters.
