Understanding Pressure and Force at the Bottom of a Pool

In this video, I walk you through problem number 16 from the Giancoli Physics textbook, focusing on calculating the total force and absolute pressure at the bottom of a swimming pool. We explore the dimensions of the pool and the necessary equations to solve the problem, including the impact of atmospheric pressure. I encourage you to pause the video and attempt the calculations on your own before I reveal the answers. Please make sure to follow along and check your work as we go through the problem together.
