PROJECT 1 The salinity of seawater is a measure of the amount of dissolved material in the seawater. Salinity varies from one location to another in the ocean, but typically falls in the range of 33 to 38 parts per thousand (ppt), or a percentage of 3.3 to 3.8. Salinity is often measured using an instrument that measures the electrical conductivity of the water; the more dissolved materials in the water, the better it conducts electricity. Measurements of salinity are especially important in colder regions because the temperature at which seawater freezes is dependent upon its salinity. The higher the salinity, the lower the temperature at which seawater freezes. The following table contains a set of salinity measurements and corresponding freezing temperatures. Salinity (ppt) Freezing Temperature (degrees F) 0 (fresh water) 32 10 31.1 20 30.1 24.7 29.6 30 29.1 35 28.6 Write a program that allows the user to enter the data for two points and a salinity measure between those points. The program should then compute the corresponding freezing temperature... Use values from table above. IMPLEMENTATION: Use linear interpolation to compute a new freezing temperature for water with a specified salinity. f(b) = f(a) + (b-a)/(c-a)* (f(c) – f(a)) f(b): new freezing point b : new salinity Two consecutive points: (a,f(a) and (c, f(c)) SAMPLE OUTPUT: Use ppt for salinity values Use degrees F for temperatures Enter first salinity and freezing temperature: 30 29.1 Enter second salinity and freezing temperature: 35 28.6 Enter new salinity: 33 New freezing temperature in degrees F: 28.8
