Question

The top of a swimming pool is at ground level. If the pool is 2.60 m deep, how far below ground level does the bottom of the pool appear to be located for the following conditions?
a. The pool is completely filled with water.
______m below ground level

b. The pool is filled halfway with water.
______m below ground level

Answer 1

Answer:

a)  $d_g=1.95m$

b) $d_g'=2.3m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Depth $d=2.60$

a)

Generally the equation for distance to ground is mathematically given by

$\frac{d_g}{d}=\frac{1}{n}$

Where

$n=\frac{4}{3}$

Therefore

$d_g=\frac{d}{n}$

$d_g=\frac{2.6}{4/3}$

$d_g=1.95m$

b)

For when The pool is filled halfway with water

$\frac{d_g}{d}=\frac{1}{n}$

$d_g'=\frac{1.3}{4/3}$

$d_g'=0.98m$

Therefore

$d_g'=(1.3+0.98)$

$d_g'=2.3m$
