What are the resultant forces (FR) and locations (yR) on the two walls of a rectangular pool that is 15 feet wide, 25 feet long and 8 feet deep?

Step 1
The weight of water can be calculated using the formula: Weight = Volume x Density x Gravity Density of water = 62.4 lb/ft^3 Gravity = 32.2 ft/s^2 Volume of water = Length x Width x Depth Volume = 25 ft x 15 ft x 8 ft = 3000 ft^3 Weight = 3000 ft^3 x 62.4 Show more…
