This is a really fiendish problem, but we may have outsmarted it.Ordinarily, the dimensions of the pool wouldn't matter, because the pressure onlydepends on the depth of the water ... you always find the same pressure at thesame depth below the surface, whether you're in a pond, a lake, a bathtub, anocean, or a swimming pool. So our first instinct was to calculate the pressure at6-ft down, since your pool is 6-ft deep.But wait! Why is the quantity of water given ? Could it be that the pool is notcompletely full and sloshing over the rim ?Volume of the full pool = (12 x 30 x 6) = 2,160 cubic feet = 16,157.9 gallons.Ah hah! The pool is not full!Those 11,500 gallons fill it to only (11,500/16,157.9) x (6-ft) = 4.2704 feet. (rounded)The pressure under 4.2704-ft of water is 1.841 psi(rounded)(Using 5 psi = 11.6 ft of water, which we found somewhere on the www.)
