Question

I dont understand this can someone please help me.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference = 2.25°

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that at depth the Temperature T is inversely proportional to the depth x.

$T$ ∝ $\frac{1}{x}$

$T= 4500 \times \frac{1}{x}$

Where 4500 is constant

Now we have to find the difference in the temperature at 1200 mts and 3750 mts

1. x=1200

$T= 4500 \times \frac{1}{x}$

$T= 4500 \times \frac{1}{1200}$

$T= 3.75$

2. x=3750

$T= 4500 \times \frac{1}{x}$

$T= 4500 \times \frac{1}{3750}$

$T=1.2$

Hence Difference is

T = 3.75 -1.20

= 2.25

Therefore The difference of the temperature at 1200 mts and 3750 mts is T=2.25°
