CORE CONNECTIONS LINKS

Simson’s Rule (page C9 – C20)

Lesson 4 – Ice climbers (parental discretion advised; climbers survived)

Lesson 4 – Water densities

Lesson 5 – Water pressure

ANSWERS:

1. 23.4 pounds per square inch

- First, figure out how much pressure increases per foot. If it increases 14.6 pounds per square inch every 33 feet, then each foot it increases .44 [14.6/33]
- Next, multiply by 20 feet, which equals 8.8 pounds per square inch. [.44 x 20 = 8.8]
- Add the surface level atmospheric pressure and the additional 20 feet depth together, to come to your total amount [14.6 + 8.8 = 23.4]

2. 5,822.6 pounds per square inch!

- 5,280 feet per mile x 2.5 miles = 13,200 feet
- .44 pounds per square inch in a foot x 13,200 feet = 5808
- Plus pressure at surface level [5,808 + 14.6 = 5,822.6 pounds per square inch]
