Answer:

d = 364 feet

Explanation:

Given that,

The pressure at depth d is given by :


P=13+(8)/(13)d

Pressure under water is found to be 237 pounds per square foot

Now, put P = 237 to find d. So,


237=13+(8)/(13)d\\\\237-13=13+(8)/(13)d-13\\\\224=(8)/(13)d\\\\d=(224* 13)/(8)\\\\d=364\ ft

So, the depth is equal to 364 feet.
