Divers who ascend too quickly in the water risk decompression illness. A common recommendation for a maximum rate of ascent is 30 feet/minute with a 5-minute safety stop 15 feet below the surface of the water. Suppose that a diver ascends to the surface in 8 minutes according to the velocity function

a. Graph the velocity function v.

b. Compute the area under the velocity curve.

c. Interpret the physical meaning of the area under the velocity curve.
