Question
A swimming pool is 20 ft wide and 40 ft long and its bottom is an inclined plane, the shallow end having a depth of 3 ft and the deep end, 9 ft. If the pool is full of water, estimate the hydro static force on (a) the shallow end, (b) the deep end, (c) one of the sides, and (d) the bottom of the pool.
Solution
The first step in solving 8.3 problem number 17 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A swimming pool is 20 ft wide and 40 ft long and its bottom is an inclined plane, the shallow end having a depth of 3 ft and the deep end, 9 ft. If the pool is full of water, estimate the hydro static force on (a) the shallow end, (b) the deep end, (c) one of the sides, and (d) the bottom of the pool.
From the textbook chapter Applications to Physics and Engineering you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
