QUESTION:

Problem 11CGP

A swimming pool has an evenly distributed pressure at the bottom. Consider a stiff steel plate lying on the ground. Is the pressure below it just as evenly distributed?

ANSWER:

Solution 11CGP

Step 1 of 2

Here we have to explain whether a stiff steel plate lying on the ground has the pressure below uniformly distributed similarly to the water at the bottom of the swimming pool has an evenly distributed pressure on bottom surface of pool.

“Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area” and is given by,

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

In the given case, the applied force is the weight of the steel plate $(W=mg)$ .

$P=\frac{m\ g}{A}$
