Answer to Problem 3ST
When depth is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The following variation:
The water pressure on a diver is directly proportional to the diver’s depth below the surface.
When depth is
Calculation:
Let P be pressure and d be depth. Then, P varies directly as d ,
where k is a constant.
Substituting
Therefore, an equation of the given variation is
To find P when
