Remember the variables for density, volume, and gravitational acceleration.
What is the pressure at a depth of 10m in water?
Remember to multiply density and depth.
Buoyant force can be calculated using which equation?
Recap the concept of buoyancy.
A swimming pool has water with a density of 1000 kg/m³. Calculate the total pressure acting on a submerged object at a depth of 15 meters.
Don't forget to include gravitational acceleration in your calculations.
