A Thermodynamics problem

Naeem

Q. Consider a 2-m deep swimming pool. The pressure difference between the top and bottom of the pool is :

Here is what I did:

Pdiff. = Denisty(h20) * height * gravity

Pdiff = 1000* 2m * 9.81 = 19.6 kPa

Is this correct.

Plz help

You are correct. It's just Bernoulli's equation.

Sure.But in this hydrostatic case,i think it's called Pascal's law...(not sure,been missing classes on hydrodynamics )...
