A vertical dam retains 18 m of water. It is pierced at its base with a semi-circular door 4 m in diameter (the base of the door is its diameter), as indicated in the figure below. a) Let y denote the height in meters measured from the base of the dam. The hydrostatic force exerted by the water on the portion of the door comprised between y m and y + Δy m is approximately p(y) Δy N. What is p(y)? Note that the density of water is ρ = 1000 Kg/m3 and the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface is g = 9.8 m/s2. Express your answer as a formula. Answer: b) In Newtons, what is the total hydrostatic force exerted on the door? FORMATTING: If you round your answer, ensure that the round-off error is less than 1 % of the value. Answer:

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 large water trough is 17 m long and has ends shaped like inverted isosceles triangles, with a base of 14 m and height of 12 m. Water density is 1000 kg/m^3 and acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Find the force on one end of the tank if the trough is completely full of water. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest Newton.
