Q30. Mr Thorpe has a rectangular lap pool that is 2 metres wide, 2 metres deep and 10 metres long which is filled to a depth of 1.7 m. Mr Thorpe climbs into the pool and submerges for ten seconds while his son measures the new depth at 173 cm. Calculate Mr Thorpe’s volume

Solution

Inital volume =2*10*1.7 = 34 m^3

New volume = 2*10*1.73 = 34.6 m^3

Mr Thorpe\'s Volume = New -old = 34.6-34 = .6 m^3
