A Rectangular Plate of Height H Feet and Base B $w$

question 8

Multiple Choice

A rectangular plate of height h feet and base b feet is submerged vertically in a tank of fluid that weighs $w$ pounds per cubic foot. The center of the plate is $k$ feet below the surface of the fluid. The fluid force on the surface of the plate is given by $F = w k h b$ Find the fluid force on the rectangular plate as shown in the figure given $x = 6$ feet and $y = 4$ feet. Round your answer to one decimal place.

• A) \(23,961.6 \mathrm { lbs }\)
• B) \(2,496.0 \mathrm { lbs }\)
• C) \(4,492.8 \mathrm { lbs }\)
• D) \(9,984.0 \mathrm { lbs }\)
• E) \(4,992.0 \mathrm { lbs }\)
