An empirical formula relating pressure and density for seawater w/ temperature held constant is:
- p/pa = (k+1)(q/qa)^7 - k
- where p= pressure
- pa = pressure at the surface
- k = dimensionless constant
- q = density
- qa = density at the surface
Using the formula in the hydrostatic relation, determine the pressure as a function of depth.
The hydrostatic relation is: p+dgz=constant.
