\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "p=kd
\n" ); document.write( "Need find \"k\".
\n" ); document.write( "6=k12
\n" ); document.write( "k=1/2
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "p=(1/2)d
\n" ); document.write( "If the depth is 16 ft,
\n" ); document.write( "p=(1/2)(16)=8 lb/sq.in
