Question

What are the total force and the absolute pressure on the bottom of a swimming pool 1.0 m by 0.6 m whose uniform depth is 2.0 m? total force 1  . N (downward)

anonymous · Answer

what's that total force you have written in the question?

anonymous · Answer

you have to find the total force and I keep getting the wrong answer

anonymous · Answer

total force 1 . N (downward)  what's this?

anonymous · Answer

i had copy and pasted this....this is where you put the answer...sorry

anonymous · Answer

okay, never mind
the total pressure at the bottom equals to the pressure exerted by the water and the atmospheric pressure. 
so find the pressure by:
total pressure=atm pressure+(density of water*g*height)

and the use the formula
pressre=force/area to find the force
you can find the area with the given dimensions

ok thank you :)

anonymous · Answer

did you get the answer?

anonymous · Answer

no not yet...im working on it...

anonymous · Answer

whats atm pressure?

anonymous · Answer

atmospheric pressure

anonymous · Answer

11325 Pa

anonymous · Answer

im still confused i did all of that and still got the wrong answer :(

anonymous · Answer

what answer are you getting?

anonymous · Answer

5.1*10^4

anonymous · Answer

what is the correct answer?

anonymous · Answer

i don't know...i'm doing homework and i have only a certain amount of attempts...can u solve it for me please?

anonymous · Answer

the atm pressure is 101325 not 11325, mistake

anonymous · Answer

still got the wrong answer

anonymous · Answer

pressure=atm. pressure +(density x height x g)
=101325+(1000x2mx9.81)
=120945 Pa

and force=pressure x area
=120945 Pa x (1mx0.6m)
=72567 N

what could be wrong?
