KillGorack / Physics 2010 / What is the total force on the bottom of a 2.0-m-diameter by 1.0-m-deep round wading pool due to the weight of the air and the weight of the water? (Note the pressure contribution from the atmosphere is 1.0*10^5 N/m2, the density of water is 1 000 kg/m3, and g = 9.8 m/s2.)

The following physics responses are provided by a student and, as such, should be considered in that context. While every effort is made for accuracy, absolute correctness cannot be fully guaranteed.

Question What is the total force on the bottom of a 2.0-m-diameter by 1.0-m-deep round wading pool due to the weight of the air and the weight of the water? (Note the pressure contribution from the atmosphere is 1.0*10^5 N/m2, the density of water is 1 000 kg/m3, and g = 9.8 m/s2.)
Answer 3.4*10^5 N
