Chapter 0, Problem 57(choose chapter or problem)
On the Richter scale, the magnitude M of an earthquake is related to the released energy E in joules (J) by the equation
\(\log E=4.4+1.5 M\)
(a) Find the energy of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake that registered
= 8.2 on the Richter scale.
(b) If the released energy of one earthquake is 10 times that of another, how much greater is its magnitude on the Richter scale?
