A Swimming Pool Is $10 \mathrm { ft }$ Wide And $36 \mathrm { ft }$

Short Answer

A swimming pool is $10 \mathrm { ft }$ wide and $36 \mathrm { ft }$ long and its bottom is an inclined plane, the shallow end having a depth of $4 \mathrm { ft }$ and the deep end, $12 \mathrm { ft }$ . If the pool is full of water, find the hydrostatic force on the shallow end. (Use the fact that water weighs $62.5 \mathrm { lb } / \mathrm { ft } ^ { 3 }$ .)
