4. Consider an underwater shock wave (plane compression wave for simplification) interaction

4. Consider an underwater shock wave (plane compression wave for simplification) interaction with a kidney stone (Longitudinal sound velocity 3.2 x 10 m/s and density 1.17 x 103 kg/m). Can you explain (by drawing a figure) what mechanisms would be responsible for kidney stone disintegration? (consider kidney stone as a sphere) (10 points)
