Question

The amount of water pressure exerted on a scuba diver varies with depth.The graph below shows the relationship between pressure, p, in atms, and depth, d, in ft.

Depth of Water and Water Pressure
(label of the graph below)


Based on the information in the graph, what is the water pressure at sea level?

A. 1/32 atm

B. 1/4 atm

C. 0 atm

D. 1 atm

Answer 1

D. 1 atm

Explanation:

Sea level = depth of 0 ft.

So, where 0 ft. is equals 1.0 atm pressure.

Answer 2

D. 1 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph that shows the relationship between pressure, p, in atms, and depth, d, in ft.

Since d represents depth, so at the sea level depth will be 0 feet.

Now let us see our graph to find the value of y at x equals 0.

We can see that at x equals 0, y is at 1. Therefore, the water pressure at sea level is 1 atm and option D is the correct choice.
