A swimming pool is filled with 2 m of water. Its bottom is square and measures 4 m on a side. Two opposite sides are vertical; one end is at 45° and the other makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal. Calculate the force of the water on (a) the bottom, (b) a vertical side, (c) the 45° end, and (d) the 60° end. Use the hydrostatic equation.
