As an object's depth below the surface of a body of salt water increases, so does the pressure acting on the object due to atmospheric and water conditions. the rate at which pressure increases is approximately 111111 pounds per square inch (\text{psi})(psi)left parenthesis, start text, p, s, i, end text, right parenthesis for every increase in depth of 252525 feet (\text{ft})(ft)left parenthesis, start text, f, t, end text, right parenthesis. the pressure at the surface of the water is 15\ \text{psi}15 psi15, space, start text, p, s, i, end text. rounded to the nearest foot, at what depth will the pressure acting on the object be 50\ \text{psi}50 psi50, space, start text, p, s, i, end text?
