Q. P=14.7+22.5fThe total pressure, P, in pounds per square inch, f feet below the ocean's surface is given by the equation. What is the pressure at the ocean's surface in pounds per square inch?Choose 1 answer:(A) 0(B) 14.7(C) 22.5(D) 331
Understand the equation: Understand the given equation.The equation P=14.7+(f/22.5) represents the total pressure P in pounds per square inch at f feet below the ocean's surface. To find the pressure at the ocean's surface, we need to consider the depth f to be 0 feet because the ocean's surface is the starting point where depth is measured from.
Substitute value of f: Substitute the value of f as 0 into the equation.Since we are looking for the pressure at the ocean's surface, we set f=0.P=14.7+(0/22.5)
Perform the calculation: Perform the calculation.Now we calculate the value of P when f is 0.P=14.7+(0/22.5)=14.7+0=14.7
