At the surface of the ocean, the water pressure is the same as the air pressure above the water, 15 lb/in². Below the surface, the water pressure increases by 4.34 lb/in² for every 10 ft of descent. (a) Express the water pressure in lb/in² as a function of the depth d in feet below the ocean surface. P = (b) At what depth is the pressure 160 lb/in2? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) ft
