A swimming pool of width 9.0 m and length 12.0 m is filled with water to a depth of 3.0 m. Calculate pressure on the bottom of the pool due to the water.


Hint: 1 m^3 of water has a mass of 1000 kg.

Respuesta :

With the use of the formula, the pressure on the bottom of the pool due to the water is 29400 Pascal

Given that a swimming pool of width 9.0 m and length 12.0 m is filled with water to a depth of 3.0 m.

Volume = Length x Width x Height

Volume = 9 x 12 x 3

Volume = 324 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

Since 1 m^3 of water has a mass of 1000 kg,

Mass = 324 x 1000

mass = 324000 kg

To calculate the pressure on the bottom of the pool due to the water, let us use the pressure formula below

P = δgh

where

P = pressure

δ = density of the water = 1000 kg/[tex]m^{3}[/tex]

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

h = height = 3m

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

P = 1000 x 9.8 x 3

P = 29400 Pascal

Therefore, the pressure on the bottom of the pool due to the water is 29400 Pascal
