Answer:

Depth of the pool, h = 4.004 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure at the bottom, P = 39240 N/m²

The density of water, d = 1000 kg/m³

The pressure at the bottom is given by :

P = dgh

We need to find the depth of pool. Let h is the depth of the pool. So,


h=(P)/(dg)


h=(39240\ N/m^2)/(1000\ kg/m^3* 9.8\ m/s^2)

h = 4.004 m

So, the pool is 4.004 meters pool. Hence, this is the required solution.
