Pressure

Post by chrozer »

If a scuba diver is to remain submerged for 1 hour, what pressure must be applied to force sufficient air into the tank to be used? Assume .5 Liters of air per breath a standard atmospheric pressure, a respiration rate of 38 breaths per minute, and a tank capacity of 30 Liters.
How would you go by solving this problem? I tried dimensional analysis but I got stuck.
