Math Problem Statement

P = ρgh\rho\text{gh}

P = the water pressure at the base of the water tower in pounds per square foot (lb/ft2ft^2) ρ\rho= the density of water in slugs per cubic foot, ρ=1.94\rho=1.94slugs/ft3ft^3 g = the acceleration due to gravity, g = 32.2 ft/ft2ft^2 h = the height of water above ground in feet (ft)

Create a table that shows the water pressure in lb/in2^2in a pipe located at the base of the water tower as you vary the height of water in increments of 10 ft. Also plot the water pressure (lb/in2^2) versus the height of the water in feet.
