If a scuba diver starts at sea level, the pressure on the diver at a depth of d feet is given by the formula p=64d+2112,
where p represents the total pressure in pounds per square foot.
Suppose the current pressure on a diver is 4032 pounds per square foot.
What is the divers current depth?
:
Write the equation:
64d + 2112 = 4032
64d = 4032 - 2112
64d = 1920
d = 1920/64
d = 30 ft
