Question

A swimming pool of width 9.0 m and length 24.0 m is filled with water to a depth of 3.0m. Calculate the pressure on the bottom of the pool due to the water.

Please solve using formula:
Pressure= Force/area​

Answer 1

Answer:

30,000 pascals

Explanation:

Pressure due to  a column of water is ( depth or height * density * acceleration due to gravity ).

Assuming acceleration due to gravity to be 10 m/s^2 and density of water to be 1000 kg/m^3.

So the pressure at the bottom of the pool will be 3 m * 1000 kg/m^3 * 10 m/s^2 = 30,000 pascals.
