Answer:

17.66 kPa

Explanation:

The volume of water in the swimming pool is the product of its dimensions

V = 30 * 8.7 * 1.8 = 469.8 cubic meters

Let water density \rho = 1000 kg/m^3, and g = 9.81 m/s2 we can calculate the total weight of water in the swimming pool

W = mg = \rho V g = 1000 * 469.8 * 9.81 = 4608738 N

The area of the bottom

A = 30 * 8.7 = 261 square meters

Therefore the pressure is its force over unit area

P = F/A = 4608738  / 261 = 17658 N/m^2 or 17.66 kPa

A 55-kg woman is wearing high heels.
Grace [21]

Answer:

Pressure, P=1.90\times 10^7\ Pa        

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the woman, m = 55 kg

Diameter of the circular cross section, d = 6 mm

Radius, r = 3 mm = 0.003 m

Let P is the pressure exerted on the floor. It is equal to the force acting on woman per unit area. It is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P=\dfrac{mg}{\pi r^2}

P=\dfrac{55\times 9.8}{\pi (0.003)^2}

P=1.90\times 10^7\ Pa

So, the pressure exerted on the floor is 1.90\times 10^7\ Pa. Hence, this is the required solution.

You are the juror of a case involving a drunken driver whose 1041 kg sports car ran into a stationary 1928 kg station wagon stop
mina [271]
1. Find the force of friction between the sports car and the station wagon stuck together and the road. The total mass m = 1928kg + 1041kg = 2969kg. The only force in the x-direction is friction: F = μ*N = μ * m * g 
2. Find the acceleration due to friction: 
F = m*a =  μ * m * g => a = μ * g = 0.6 * 9.81
3. Find the time it took the two cars stuck together to slide 12m:
x = 0.5*a*t² 
t = sqrt(2*x / a) = sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) )
4. Find the initial velocity of the two cars:
v = a*t = μ * g * sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) ) = sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g)
5. Use the initial velocity of the two cars combined to find the velocity of the sports car. Momentum must be conserved:

m₁ mass of sports car
v₁ velocity of sports car before the crash
m₂ mass of station wagon
v₂ velocity of station wagon before the crash = 0
v velocity after the crash

m₁*v₁ + m₂*v₂ = (m₁+m₂) * v = m₁*v₁ 
v₁ = (m₁+m₂) * v / m₁ = (m₁+m₂) * sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g) / m₁
v₁ = 33.9 m/s
