A swimming pool is 5.0 m long, 4.0 m wide and 3.0 m deep. Compute the force exerted by the water against
(
a. The bottom; and
(
b. Either end. (Hint: Calculate the force on a thin, horizontal strip at a depth h, and integrate this over the end of the pool.) Do not include the force due to air pressure.

Respuesta :

For the answer to the question above, ater weights 1000kg per meter cubed. the volume of the pool is part A is 5*4*3 = 60 meters cubed 
60*1000 = 60 000kg. the force from this is m*g = 60 000 * 9.81 = 588kN 

part B: 
volume: 4*4*3 = 48 meters cubed 
48 * 1000 = 48000kg 
F = 9.81*48000 = 470kN
I hope this helps.
