Air pressure decreases at a rate of 2.5 pascals per kilometer in the eastward direction. In addition, the air pressure is increasing at a constant rate with respect to time everywhere. A ship sailing eastward at 10 km/hour past an island takes barometer readings and records a pressure drop of 30 pascals in 2 hours. Estimate the time rate of change of air pressure on the island. (A pascal is a unit of air pressure.)
What is time rate of change of air pressure?
Attempt:
Basically tried everything possible
10 x 2 = 20 km
30 Pa / 2 hrs = 15 Pa / hr
2.5 Pa x 20 km = 50 Pa
