Algebra 2 verbal model help!?

Question

not to be lazy, but i reeelly dont not understand this problem

scientists worked in an underwater building called a sub-igloo

the watr pressure at the floor of the sub-igloo was 2184 pounds per square foot

water pressure is zero at the water's surface and increases by 62.4 pounds per square foot for each foot of depth

1. write a verbal model for the water pressure

2. assign labels to the parts of the verbal model, indicate the units of measure

3. use the labels to translate the verbal model into an algebraic model

if you could just set up the problems, i can finish the rest. please!

10 points, seriously anything will help :]

Answer 1

Verbal: The water pressure is equal to 62.4 times the depth.

Labels : water pressure is in pounds per square foot and depth is in feet.

Let f be the number of feet below the surface, and P be the pressure in pounds per square foot.

Then P = 62.4 f

Answer 2

Your verbal model should look something like this:

Amount the water pressure increases per square foot x(times) total depth of the water = the water pressure at the floor of the sub-igloo

Labels:

Amount water pressure increases per square foot: 62.4 lbs per sq ft

Total depth of the water: x (unknown)

Water pressure at the floor: 2184 lbs per sq ft

Your algebraic equation would be:

62.4x = 2184

When you do a verbal model, you just write out in words what you're going to do to solve the problem. Hope that helps!
