Question

The water temperature of the Pacific Ocean vanes inversely as the water's depth. At a depth of 1000 meters, the water temperature is 4.4 degrees Celsius. What is the water temperature at a depth of 5000 meters?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{The equation for the water's temperatue and depth is,} \\ T=(K)/(D) \\ 4.4=(K)/(1000) \\ K=4.4*1000=4400 \\ So,\text{ at 5000 m} \\ T=(4400)/(5000) \\ T=0.88^(\circ)C \end{gathered}`
