Concept explainers
To explain: The concept of dependent and independent variables with help of given example.
Answer to Problem 42HP
Height determines the output values i.e. pressure and value of pressure is dependent on the value of independent variable i.e. height.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The example is about pressure of water and height.
It is well known that the increase in height of water results in increase in water pressure. As the height of water changes, it causes the pressure to change, here height is the independent variable as it is not affected by anything, while the dependent variable is water pressure. In other words, height determines the output values i.e. pressure and value of pressure is dependent on the value of independent variable i.e. height.
Thus, height is independent variable and pressure is dependent variable.
