The relative pressure at the bottom of a column of fluid is given by
[tex]p_r = \rho g h[/tex]
where
[tex]\rho[/tex] is the fluid density
g is the gravitational acceleration
h is the height of the column of fluid
At the bottom of the swimming pool, h=1.9 m, and the water density is
[tex]\rho = 1000 kg/m^3[/tex], therefore the relative pressure is
[tex]p_r = (1000 kg/m^3)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.9 m)=1.86 \cdot 10^4 Pa[/tex]
To find the absolute pressure, we must add to this the atmospheric pressure, [tex]p_a[/tex]:
[tex]p= p_r + p_a= 1.86 \cdot 10^4 Pa + 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa =1.2 \cdot 10^5 Pa[/tex]
