Textbook Question
Chapter 16.4, Problem 10CC
The height of liquid in a large. bowl-shaped container is recorded as measured amounts of water are added. The following data was recorded:
Haights (h) [ft] : 0.7 1.3 2.6 4.1
Volumes (V) [ft′] : 1.64 7.71 43.6 136
If the maximum depth of the container is 7.5 feet, what is the volume of liquid that it can contain? All calculations should be done in MATLAB, not manually. Assume the data fits a power model.

I will rate accordinglyarrow_forwardThe Antoine Equation can be used to estimate vapor pressure at various temperatures for different substances using sets of empirically-derived constants. The equation can be written as: Where for water A = 8.07131, B = 1730.63, C = 233.426, T = temperature [°C], and P = vapor pressure [mmHg].
