underwater pressure can be found using the formula
p=L+d/33
where p is the pressure (in atmospheres), and d is the depth of the water in feet. If a scuba diver is experiencing 3.4 atmospheres of pressure, what is the depth of the diver?
The L is really one.
P= 1 + depth/33
solve for depth..
depth= 33(P-1)
To find the depth of the diver, we can use the formula you provided: depth = 33(P-1), where P is the pressure experienced by the scuba diver.
Given that the diver is experiencing a pressure of 3.4 atmospheres, we can substitute this value into the formula:
depth = 33(3.4-1)
Now, let's solve the equation:
depth = 33(2.4)
depth = 79.2 feet
Therefore, the depth of the scuba diver is 79.2 feet.
