    An earthquake generates both transverse $(S)$ and longitudinal $(P)$ sound waves in the earth. The speed of $S$ waves is about $4.5 \,km/s$ and that of $P$ waves is about $8.0 \,km/s.$ A seismograph records $P$ and $S$ waves from an earthquake. The first $P$ wave arrives $4.0\, min$ before the first $S$ wave. The epicenter of the earthquake is located at a distance about .... $km$

    A wire of $9.8 \times {10^{ - 3}}kg{m^{ - 1}}$ passes over a frictionless light pulley fixed on the top of a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of $30°$ with the horizontal. Masses $m$ and $M$ are tied at the two ends of wire such that $m$ rests on the plane and $M$ hangs freely vertically downwards. The entire system is in equilibrium and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of $100 ms^{-1}$. Chose the correct option $m =$ ..... $kg$
