Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure 101 kN/m plus 8 kN/m for every meter below the surface, therefore;
a. expression for pressure is given by,
[tex]Pressure = 101 + 8d[/tex] ............................... (1)
where d = depth below the surface in meter.
b. to find the depth at any pressure, equation (1) above is rearranged to make depth (d) subject of the formula
[tex]d = \frac{Pressure - 101}{8}[/tex]
as an example, to find depth at pressure of 200N/m
d = (200 - 101)/8 = 12.375 meters
depth is 12.375 meters below the surface.
