The depth to an unusual layer of rock is to be determined at a particular place by bouncing an artificially generated seismic wave off it and receiving the echo at the surface. When this is done, the depth is given by the equation, h = (1/2) v t, in which h is the depth, v is the average velocity of the seismic wave, and t is the time that it takes for the wave to go down to the rock layer and return to the surface. If t = 0.350 +/- 0.10, and v = 2,000 +/- 10. meters per second, what is the possible error in the depth.
