\

A vertical plate is submerged in water as indicated in the figure.

\

Find the hydrostatic force on one end of the aquarium:

\

$\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ , where $\"\"$ is the depth of the aquarium.

\

At any time, the plate is $\"\"$ ft depth from the surface.

\

Thus, $\"\"$ .

\

Strip area of one side of the plate is $\"\"$ , as depth increases then $\"\"$ also increses.

\

Thus, consider width as $\"\"$ .

\

Find the length of the strip.

\

Redraw the figure.

\

$\"\"$

\

Observe the triange.

\

By phythagarous theorem : $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Length of the plate is $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore area of the plate is $\"\"$ .
