Question

Find the relative size T of the shock wave of earthquakes with magnitude 8.3, as measured on the Richter scale (Answer in scientific notation, rounded to the nearest hundredth).

Answer 1

Answer:

199,526,231.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we use the Logarithmic relation below;

R = Log T

8.3 = Log T

T = (Log)^-1 8.3

T = 199,526,231.49688828

Which to the nearest hundredth is T = 199,526,231.50
