Fluid force on a triangular plate
Find the total force on the submerged vertical plate that is an isosceles triangle with (bottom) base
and height , and assume it is submerged with the upper vertex below the surface. Liquid is oil with density .
02
Fluid force on a parabolic plate
A parabolic plate is submerged vertically in water as in the figure:
The shape of the plate is bounded below by
and above by the line . (Note that increases going up in this coordinate system.) Compute the total fluid force on this plate.
(Hint: your integrand should contain
as a factor.)
03
Fluid force on triangular plates
For diagrams 1, 2, 3 (L to R) below, set up an integral to compute the hydrostatic force on the plate.
04
Fluid force on trapezoidal plates
For diagrams 1, 2, 3 (L to R) below, set up an integral to compute the hydrostatic force on the plate.
05
Fluid force on circular plates
For diagrams 1, 2, 3 (L to R) below, set up an integral to compute the hydrostatic force on the plate.
