Read these sentences from little dorrit by charles dickens. the only things to be seen not fixedly staring and glaring were the vines drooping under their load of grapes. these did occasionally wink a little, as the hot air barely moved their faint leaves. how does figurative language contribute to the tone of these sentences? a. a simile makes the action seem hopeless b. personification makes even the plants seem lazy c. hyperbole makes the atmosphere seem oppressive d. a metaphor makes the setting seem cursed

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x

it u understand what he thought at the time and let u know more about him then what third person would of known probably. hope this : )
