Question

Problems 6-8: Consider that you are calculating the force acting on the top surface of a plate that is submerged under water to a depth h. The equation F PA can be used to calculate the Force, F, acting on the plates top surface where P is the pressure of the water acting on the top surface and A is area of the surface. Furthermore, P is given by P-ρgh where ρ is the density of H20, g is the gravitational constant and h is depth. 6) 7) 8) Using the SI system calculate F on the top surface for a 1mx 1m plate submerged at a depth of h-1m, ρ-1000 kg/m3 Using the British Gravitational system calculate F on the top surface for a 1ft x 1ft plate submerged at a depth of h 1ft. p-1.94 slugs/ft3 Using the English Engineering system calculate F on the top surface for a 0.6ft x 0.6ft plate submerged at a depth ofh 0.7ft. p 62.4 lbm/ft3
