Time to failure: A building that is subjected to shaking (caused, for example, by an earthquake) may collapse. Failure depends both on intensity and on duration of the shaking. If an intensity I1 causes a building to collapse in t1 seconds, then an intensity I2 will cause the collapse in t2 seconds, where
If a certain building collapses in 30 seconds at one intensity, how long would it take the building to collapse at triple that intensity?
