To calculate the pool occupancy:
\[ O = \left\lfloor \frac{L \times W}{S} \right\rfloor \]
Where:
Pool occupancy refers to the maximum number of swimmers that can safely and comfortably use a swimming pool at one time. It is determined by the size of the pool and the amount of space recommended per swimmer. This calculation is crucial for public health and safety, as overcrowding can lead to accidents and hinder the ability of lifeguards to effectively monitor swimmers.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
Step 1: Multiply the pool length by the pool width:
\[ L \times W = 50 \times 20 = 1000 \]
Step 2: Divide the pool area by the space required per swimmer:
\[ \frac{1000}{10} = 100 \]
Step 3: Round down to the nearest whole number:
\[ O = \left\lfloor 100 \right\rfloor = 100 \]
The pool occupancy is 100 swimmers.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
Step 1: Multiply the pool length by the pool width:
\[ L \times W = 30 \times 15 = 450 \]
Step 2: Divide the pool area by the space required per swimmer:
\[ \frac{450}{8} = 56.25 \]
Step 3: Round down to the nearest whole number:
\[ O = \left\lfloor 56.25 \right\rfloor = 56 \]
The pool occupancy is 56 swimmers.
