At the bottom of a swimming pool, the pressure exerted at a given point is
proportional to the depth of the water above it. In particular, the pressure at a given point of
depth d is equal to 10, 000d Pascals.
We will investigate the total pressure at the bottom of a swimming pool depending on its
shape. You may view 3D models of the swimming pools for reference here (note that this is
one model plotting the depth as a function of x and y, so represents essentially the pool flipped
upside-down):

(a) Suppose we have a rectangular pool that is 50 meters long and 25 meters wide. The pool
has a shallow end that is 1 meter deep at the edge, a deep end 50 meters away that is 3
meters deep at the edge, and is such that the bottom of the pool forms a linear slant in
between (so along a line segment parallel to the short side, the pool has constant depth,
and along a line segment parallel to the long side, the pool's depth varies linearly). Set up
and…
An explosion at an oil rig located in gulf waters causesan elliptical oil slick to spread on the surface from the rig. The slickis a constant 9 in. thick. After several days, when the major axis ofthe slick is 2 mi long and the minor axis is 3/4 mi wide, it is determinedthat its length is increasing at the rate of 30 ft/hr, and itswidth is increasing at the rate of 10 ft/hr. At what rate (in cubic feetper hour) is oil flowing from the site of the rig at that time?
the weight W of a steel ball bearing varies directly with the cube of the bearing's radius r according to the formula W= 4/3 pi(p)(r)^3, where p is the density of the steel. The surface area of a bearing varies directly as the square of its radius because A = 4 pi(r^2)
a. Express the weight W of a bearing in terms of its surface area
b. Express the bearing's surface area A in terms of its weight.
c. For steel, p = 7.85 g/cm^3. What s the surface area of a bearing weighing 0.62 g?
