  1. the velocities of the first and  second layers can be calculated as illustrated below
v1 =      1
           slope

slope  =    0.032  - 0.01   =    0.022  = 0.0022
15-5                                                 10
:.  Vi =     1      = 455mls
            0.0022
slope = 0.085 –0.055  = 0.03  =  0.0012
55-30                                                25
v2  =    1         = 833mls
      0.0012
  1. depth to the second layer  v2
 =         tiviv2
        2 v22-v12
where  ti= intercept time on the time (t) axis. =0.019
v1 = velocity of the first layer
v2 = velocity of the second layer
₤2 = 0.019 x 455 x833   = 7201.285  = 7201.285
         2 8332-4552                 2484697.7564
=7201.285             = 5.1603m x 5.12m

  1. No.  the velocity in the upper layer is the true velocity while that of the lower layer is the apparent velocity. The  reason is that the wave actually propagated through the upper layer,  while it only grazed along the upper part of the  lower  layer (interface separating the upper and the lower layer).  i  would have carried out  the reverse shooting so as to get respectively V1+and V2+ (so that the harmonic mean of v21 and  v2-) will give the  true  velocity  of the  second layer.
 
From the above diagram, at any offset such that x I> AB;  refracted /head waves are the first to start reaching   the geophone .

From the above table,  we can generate a polynomial function of second degree relating permeability (k)  and velocity (v)  as   show below:
K=  bo+  bi Ã¥V +  b2Ã¥v2
Ã¥k= nbo + biÃ¥v + b2Ã¥v2 ………………………………………….equ(1)
Ã¥kv= boÃ¥v + biÃ¥v2 + b2Ã¥v3…………………………………………equ(2)
Ã¥kv =boÃ¥v2  + biÃ¥v + b2Ã¥v4………………………………………….equ(3)

This  yields a  3 x 3 (square) matrix of three unknown variables bo, bi and b2  as illustrated below:
