Question 1096985: The pressure exerted by a certain liquid at a given point varies directly as the depth of the point beneath the surface of the liquid. The pressure at 50 feet is 20 pounds per square inch. What is the pressure at 130 feet? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y is pressure and x=depth
y=kx
50=k*20
k=50/20=2.5
Use k in the next part.
y=(2.5)(130)=325 psi
