In “Excerpt from ‘Civil Disobedience’” Thoreau states that “If I devote myself to other pursuits and contemplations, I must first see, at least, that I do not pursue them sitting
upon another man’s shoulders. I must get off him first, that he may pursue his
contemplations too” (Paragraph 1). To what extent do you agree with this? What examples
can you draw on from your own experience and the world around you where people are
ensuring that they are not “sitting upon another man’s shoulders?”

i believe it is "he will always remain extremely timid" if its wrong sorry

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x

can you share the passage so i can answer the question : )
