Roman 2
Roman thermae around the year 200 AD were baths equipped with underground central heating. The largest of them had a rectangular pool of cold water with base dimensions of 17 m and 51 m, with the water reaching a height of 150 cm. Calculate according to Pascal's law:
a) the water pressure at the bottom of the pool,
b) the pressure force acting on the bottom of the pool.
Your answer:
a) the water pressure at the bottom of the pool,
b) the pressure force acting on the bottom of the pool.
