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

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)  [tex]d_g=1.95m[/tex]

b) [tex]d_g'=2.3m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Depth [tex]d=2.60[/tex]

a)

Generally the equation for distance to ground is mathematically given by

[tex]\frac{d_g}{d}=\frac{1}{n}[/tex]

Where

[tex]n=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]d_g=\frac{d}{n}[/tex]

[tex]d_g=\frac{2.6}{4/3}[/tex]

[tex]d_g=1.95m[/tex]

b)

For when The pool is filled halfway with water

[tex]\frac{d_g}{d}=\frac{1}{n}[/tex]

[tex]d_g'=\frac{1.3}{4/3}[/tex]

[tex]d_g'=0.98m[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]d_g'=(1.3+0.98)[/tex]

[tex]d_g'=2.3m[/tex]
