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

Talja [164]

Complete Question:

A basketball player tosses a basketball m=1kg straight up with an initial speed of v=7.5 m/s. He releases the ball at shoulder height h= 2.15m. Let gravitational potential energy be zero at ground level

a)  Give the total mechanical energy of the ball E in terms of maximum height hn it reaches, the mass m, and the gravitational acceleration g.

b) What is the height, hn in meters?

Answer:

a) Energy = mghₙ

b) Height, hₙ = 5.02 m

Explanation:

a) Total energy in terms of maximum height

Let maximum height be hₙ

At maximum height, velocity, V=0

Total mechanical energy , E = mgh + 1/2 mV^2

Since V=0 at maximum height, the total energy in terms of maximum height becomes

Energy = mghₙ

b) Height,  hₙ in meters

mghₙ = mgh + 1/2 mV^2

mghₙ = m(gh + 1/2 V^2)

Divide both sides by mg

hₙ = h + 0.5 (V^2)/g

h = 2.15m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

V = 7.5 m/s

hₙ = 2.15 + 0.5(7.5^2)/9.8

hₙ = 2.15 + 2.87

hₙ = 5.02 m
