Question

Introduction Team Problem 2 You jump into the deep end of Legion Pool and swim to the bottom with a pressure gauge. The gauge at the bottom reads 39,240 N/m2. How deep is the pool if the density of water is 1000 kg/m3?

Answer 1

Answer:

Depth of the pool, h = 4.004 cm

Explanation:

Pressure at the bottom, P = 39240 N/m²

The density of water, d = 1000 kg/m³

The pressure at the bottom is given by :

P = dgh

We need to find the depth of pool. Let h is the depth of the pool. So,

$h=\dfrac{P}{dg}$

$h=\dfrac{39240\ N/m^2}{1000\ kg/m^3\times 9.8\ m/s^2}$

h = 4.004 m

So, the pool is 4.004 meters pool. Hence, this is the required solution.
