A rectangular swimming pool has a length of 10 m, a width of 5 m, and a depth of 2 m. What is the pressure exerted by the water at the bottom of the pool? (Density of water = 1000 kg/m³, g = 9.8 m/s²)

Core Concept

The pressure at the bottom of the pool is given by P = ρgh, where ρ is the density of water, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth of the water. P = (1000 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(2 m) = 19600 Pa.
