How would you floor of the swimming pool appear from the top of the pool?

The floor of a swimming pool would appear flat from the top, assuming the pool has a level base. However, the floor may look distorted or rippled due to the water's surface tension, reflections, and refractions.


Why when you dive for a coin at the bottom of a pool the coin is not exactly where it appears to be?

When you dive for a coin at the bottom of a pool, the light refraction at the water-air interface causes the image of the coin to appear higher than its actual position. This bending of light makes the coin look like it's somewhere it's not, leading you to misjudge its location.


Explain why pushing the wooden block across the rough surface will make the bottom of the block feel warm?

When the wooden block is pushed across the rough surface, there is friction between the block and the surface. This friction generates heat due to the resistance of the rough surface against the movement of the block. The heat produced transfers to the bottom of the block, making it feel warm.


Why is pressure greater at the bottom of the pool rather than the top of the pool?

Pressure increases with depth in a fluid due to the weight of the fluid column above pressing down. This means the pressure is higher at the bottom of the pool where there is more water above compared to the top where there is less water above.


Where are the drains in the wave pool?

Drains in a wave pool are typically located near the perimeter or at the bottom of the pool to help circulate and filter the water. The exact placement of drains can vary depending on the specific design of the wave pool.

How many feet are required from a block wall to a swimming pool?

The distance from the bottom of the pool to the bottom of the house footing is based on a 45 degree line from the bottom of pool to the bottom of the house footing. Basically if the pool is 3'-0" deep you must stay 3'-0" from the house. If the pool is 6'-0" deep you must stay 6'-0" back. Call your building department to verify.

How do you get the film up off the bottom of the pool?

If there is a film laying on the bottom of the pool it is most likely that the pool has clarifier or floculant put in it. If so let the pool settle for a day or two until all of the clarifier and contaminant has settled to the bottom then turn the filter to waste and gently vacuum the cloudy material on the bottom of the pool to waste do not put floculant through the filtration vac it to waste.
