A Flat Rectangular Plate Is Submerged Horizontally in Water to a Depth

question 235

Short Answer

A flat rectangular plate is submerged horizontally in water to a depth of 3.2 ft. If the top surface of the plate has an area of 50 ft², and the liquid in which it is submerged is water, find the force on the top of the plate. Neglect the effect of the atmosphere above the liquid. (The density of water is 62.6 lb/ft³.)
