You jump into the deep end of Legion Pool and swim to the bottom with a pressure gauge. The gauge at the bottom reads 39,240 N/m2. How deep is the pool if the density of water is 1000 kg/m3?

Answer:

Height of the pool will be 4.004 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given gauge pressure at the bottom
P=39240N/m^2

Density of water
\rho =1000kg/m^3

We have to find the height of the pool

We know that gauge pressure is given by


P=\rho gh


39240=1000* 9.8* h

h = 4.004 m

Height of the pool will be 4.004 m
