Determine the absolute pressure on the bottom of a swimming pool 27.0 m by 8.9 m whose uniform depth is 1.8 m . Express your answer using two significant figures.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]P=17658Pa[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Dimension

 [tex]L*B=27.0*8.9[/tex]

Depth [tex]d=1.8m[/tex]

Generally the equation for Volume of water is mathematically given by

 [tex]V=L*B*D[/tex]

 [tex]V=27.0*8.9*1.8[/tex]

 [tex]V=432.54m^3[/tex]

Therefore

Force at the bottom of the Pool

 [tex]F=\rho Vg[/tex]

Where

 [tex]\rho \ density\ of \ water(1000kg/m^3)[/tex]

 [tex]F=1000*432.54m^3*9.81[/tex]

 [tex]F=4.2*10^{6}N[/tex]

Generally the equation for Pressure at the bottom is mathematically given by

 [tex]P=\frac{Forece }{Area}[/tex]

 [tex]P=\frac{4.2*10^{6}N}{27.0*8.9}[/tex]

 [tex]P=17658Pa[/tex]
