Step 1: Rewrite the square root as a fractional exponent.
$$ y = x^{1/2} $$
Step 2: Take the logarithm base $10$ (indicated by "LgK" and consistent with previous problems) of both sides of the equation.
$$ \log_{10} y = \log_{10} (x^{1/2}) $$
Step 3: Apply the power rule of logarithms, $\log_b (M^c) = c \log_b M$.
$$ \log_{10} y = \frac{1}{2} \log_{10} x $$
The logarithmic equation is:
$$ \boxed{\log_{10} y = \frac{1}{2} \log_{10} x} $$
