A large aquarium has the triangluar viewing window shown below. The vertices are at (−16, 0) and (16, 0) and (0, 8). The water surface is at y = 21 (shown by the blue line). All distances are in feet. The weight density of water is 62.5 lbs/ft∧3. Find the hydrostatic force on the window. (graph not to scale) lbs

Hydrostatic Force: A vertical semi-circular plate is partially submerged in water as shown in the figure below, where the given dimensions are in feet. Recall that water has a weight density of 62.5 pounds per cubic foot. Set up but do not evaluate or even algebraically simplify an integral that represents the total hydrostatic force on the plate. ** Set up but do NOT evaluate**

Consider the trough shown below. The ends of the trough are trapezoids with dimensions a = 1.4 m, b = 0.6 m and H = 0.9 m. The length of the trough is L = 3.5 m. The trough is filled with water to a depth of 0.5 m. For the following, round your answers to at least 3 significant figures and include the units. You may assume that the mass density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2 a. Find the volume of water in the trough. Volume of water = b. Find the hydrostatic force acting on each of the following sides of the trough. Force on the horizontal bottom surface = Force on the long vertical side = Force on each trapezoidal end = c. Find the height of the centre of pressure on the long vertical side of the trough. The centre of pressure is above the bottom of the trough. d. Find the centre of pressure on each trapezoidal end. The centre of pressure on each trapezoidal end is from the vertical side and above the bottom of the trough. Feel free to use a calculator or a computer to evaluate the integrals.

A vertical dam has a semicircular gate as shown in the figure. The total depth d of the figure is 10 m, the height h of air above the water level is 2 m, and the width w of the gate is 8 m. Set up an integral that can be used to find the hydrostatic force (in N) against the gate. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Recall that the weight density of water is 1,000 kg/m3.) ∫ 0 ( 1,000)(9.8) ( ) d x Find the hydrostatic force (in N ) against the gate. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) N
