How much pressure is exerted on a swimmer at the bottom of a 5.0 m deep swimming pool?

Hydrostatic pressure is (density of the fluid)(gravitational acceleration)(height of the water head).

The density of water is 1 g/cm^3

Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2

The water head is just the height above the object that you are measuring the pressure on, so here it is 10 m

=(1 g/cm^3)(10^6 cm^3/1 m^3)*(9.81 m/s^2)*(10 m) => always be sure to convert units to be the same so that they cancel out!

= 9.81*10^7 -or- 98100 Pa (a pascal (Pa) is the measure of pressure in the S.I. system and equals (kg)/(m)(s^2)).

Hope that helps!

How to Convert a chlorine pool to magnesium and potassium chloride salt pools?

When I got it done it involved dumping about 2/3 of the water in my ordinary salt water pool to reduce the amount of sodium chloride, However if you have a fresh water pool then you need not lose any water at all, Throw the required amount of Magnesium and potassium chloride in the pool, set up the new salt chlorinating unit and that's all that there is to it. I will put a link below to a mob in Australia that flogs the stuff so that you can get more information.

Is Borax added to a swimming pool safe for people?

Borax is perfectly safe in swimming pools. We started using it in our inground pool two years ago and would not use anything else. Not only is it less expensive (a lot less expensive) but the water feels softer when we use it. My husband had to spend some time convincing me that Borax works and works safely but I'm very glad he did. Our pool has never looked better. We had been buying every product that the pool store told us we needed (we did need it didn't we?) One summer they couldn't get our pool water cleared up so in frustration my husband turned to the internet and the use of Borax. We saved a bundle and our pool cleaned up beautifully. Hope this helps you.

Can a concrete pool pop?

If you mean can a concrete pool pop up out of the ground then the answer is Yes it can. All you need is an empty or partially empty concrete pool and a lot of ground water around it once the ground water around the outside of the pool builds up enough the pool will start to float. I have seen it happen several times over the years. To avoid this happening most pools have a hydrostatic valve fitted in the bottom of the pool to allow ground water into the pool when there is a build up of water pressure outside the pool it flows into the pool to stop it from floating.
