a 3.0m deep swimming pool measures 25m by 15m. it is filled with fresh water. what force does the water exert on the bottom of the pool?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used W=mg= pVg W= (1000 kg/m^3) (3m*25m*15m)(9.8 m/s^2) W= 11025000 N but thats wrong...

I'm surprised... I think that should be correct. Are you sure the question doesn't ask for pressure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its looking for "What force does the water exert on the bottom of the pool?" Im surprised too because I thought thats the equation.
