a certain gas will escape from a storage tank according to the formula e=180√(p),
where e represents the amount escaping per minute in gallons, and p represents
the pressure in pounds per square inch.
What is the pressure on the gas when about 225 gallons per minute are escaping?
:
Replacing e with 225, we have
= 225
divide both sides by 180
=
= 1.25
square both sides
p =
p = 1.5625 psi
