    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 ..... $km$
