Concept explainers

Fluid Pressure

The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.

Gauge Pressure

Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.

Question

**Swimming Pool Structural Support Calculations**

You are planning on installing a new above-ground swimming pool in your backyard. The pool will be rectangular with dimensions 31.0 m × 10.0 m. It will be filled with fresh water to a depth of 1.90 m. In order to provide the appropriate structural support, you wish to determine the following.

(a) **Determine the force exerted on the bottom of the pool by the water (in N).**

[Input box for answer] N

(b) **Determine the force exerted on each end of the pool by the water (in N).** (Assume the end is the 10.0 m wall.)

[Input box for answer] N

(c) **Determine the force exerted on each side of the pool by the water (in N).** (Assume the side is the 31.0 m wall.)

[Input box for answer] N

(d) **You wish to have swimming parties with your children and grandchildren.** At a given time, you might have 29 people with an average mass of 75.0 kg in the pool. You need to determine if such parties will affect your calculations for the required strength of materials supporting your pool.

- ○ The parties **will not affect** the required strength since the forces on the surfaces will increase by less than 1%.
- ○ The parties **will affect** the required strength since the forces on the surfaces will increase by more than 1%.
