Question

The top of a swimming pool is at ground level. If the pool is 2.60 m deep, how far below ground level does the bottom of the pool appear to be located for the following conditions?

a. The pool is completely filled with water.
______m below ground level

b. The pool is filled halfway with water.
______m below ground level

Answer 1

a)
`d_g=1.95m`

b)
`d_g'=2.3m`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Depth
`d=2.60`

a)

Generally the equation for distance to ground is mathematically given by

`(d_g)/(d)=(1)/(n)`

Where

`n=(4)/(3)`

Therefore

`d_g=(d)/(n)`

`d_g=(2.6)/(4/3)`

`d_g=1.95m`

b)

For when The pool is filled halfway with water

`(d_g)/(d)=(1)/(n)`

`d_g'=(1.3)/(4/3)`

`d_g'=0.98m`

Therefore

`d_g'=(1.3+0.98)`

`d_g'=2.3m`
