Question
PLEASE PLEASE HELP SOLVE THIS, A swimming pool is 30 ft wide and 60 ft long and its bottom is an inclined plane, the shallow end having a depth of 4 ft and the deep end, 8 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.)
(c)
Estimate the hydrostatic force (in lb) on one of the sides.

Transcribed Image Text:**Hydrostatic Force Estimation on a Swimming Pool**
A swimming pool is 30 ft wide, 60 ft long, and has a bottom that is an inclined plane. The shallow end has a depth of 4 ft, while the deep end has a depth of 8 ft. The pool is assumed to be full of water. The weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft³. The hydrostatic force calculations are rounded to the nearest whole number.
**(a)** Estimate the hydrostatic force (in pounds) on the shallow end.
- Calculated Force: **15,000 lb**
**(b)** Estimate the hydrostatic force (in pounds) on the deep end.
- Calculated Force: **60,000 lb**
**(c)** Estimate the hydrostatic force (in pounds) on one of the sides.
- Calculated Force: **70,000 lb** (Incorrect estimation)
**(d)** Estimate the hydrostatic force (in pounds) on the bottom of the pool.
- Calculated Force: **676,498 lb**
These calculations involve applying principles of physics regarding pressure in fluids at varying depths. The varying depths of the pool influence the different forces exerted on each surface.
