Answer

b) $19.6kPa$

Work Step by Step

Knowing that: $P=\rho gh$ Taking $1$ as the top of the pool and $2$ as the bottom of the pool and assuming that the density does not change with the depth: $\Delta P=P_{2}-P_{1}=\rho_{water}gh_{2}-\rho_{water}gh_{1}$ $\Delta P=\rho_{water}g*(h_{2}-h_{1})$ Assuming $h_{1}=0m$ (Reference): $\Delta P=1000\frac{kg}{m^3}*9.81\frac{m}{s^2}*(2m-0m)$ $\Delta P=19.62kPa$
