Question

A swimming pool has dimensions 26 m x 32 m and a flat bottom. When the pool is filled to a depth of 3 m with fresh water, what is the total force due to the water on the bottom?
density = 1000 kg/m^3
volume = 26 * 32 * 3 = 2496 m^3
so mass = 2.496*10^6 kg
so weight = 9.81*mass = 24.486 *10^6 N
= 2.45*10^7 N
