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 4 ft and the deep end 11 ft. Assume the pool is full of water. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Recall that the weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft³.)

(a) Estimate the hydrostatic force on the shallow end.
\[ \boxed{321740} \text{ lb} \]

(b) Estimate the hydrostatic force on the deep end.
\[ \boxed{2433159} \text{ lb} \]

(c) Estimate the hydrostatic force on one of the sides.
\[ \boxed{2426322} \text{ lb} \]

(d) Estimate the hydrostatic force on the bottom of the pool.
\[ \boxed{12065250} \text{ lb} \]
