Sound waves can be used to measure ocean depth. this done by sending a sound wave to the floor of the ocean and recording the time it takes to return to a machine. what did the inventory of this machine need to know while developing the machine

When the sound wave returns to the machine, you can measure
how long it took to return. 

(You may notice that it's working just like RADAR, which does the
same thing with radio waves instead of sound waves.)

Even if you know how long the sound took to get to the bottom and
return to the top, you can't DO anything with this information if you
don't know the SPEED of the sound through the water.  Not only
the inventory of this machine, but anyone who uses it, has to know
the speed of the sound through water in order to use the round-trip
time to calculate the depth.

the simple machine has three main features. they are:

loadfulcrumeffort

fulcrum is the center point or pivot point of the machine. effort is input force/ applied force. load is external force/ output.

the keisha 's machine labels are

x : load

y: fulcrum

z: lever
