Thread: need to calculate it tonight

I need to calcualate the maximum safe depth a diver can dive. this is the information i have....
pressure increases 4.3lbs/(in*in) for every 10ft of descent
pressures of more than 65lbs/(in*in) are dangerous

Can anyone help me find the depth, i have the rest of the program ready...but i cant do the calculations



#include <iostream> // for input and output
#include <string> // for strings
using namespace std;


//constant declarations
//all variables are named constants, no input needed
const string TITLE = "Maximum Safe Diving Depth for Non-Professional Divers"; // title



int main()
{

//Variable
float inch = 12; // inches
float pressureIncrease = 4.3 / (inch * inch); // pressure increases
float pressureMax = 65 / (inch * inch); // dangerous pressure level


// Processing
float safeDepth =

// Output
cout << endl << endl; // prints 2 lines
cout << TITLE << endl << endl; // prints title
cout << "Maximum Safe Diving Depth is: " << safeDepth << " feet"
<< endl << endl;

return 0;

} //end of program

this is a relatively simple question.. are you sure you haven't thought about this yourself?

Code:

float feetPerIncrease = 10.0;
float safeDepth = pressureMax / pressureIncrease * feetPerIncrease;

thanks a ton
i guess i am too tired to think....but you are right it was purty easy!
Thanks again!
