Question 224

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A rectangular swimming pool has a parabolic drain plate at the bottom of the pool. The drain plate is shaped like the region between y=12x2\mathrm { y } = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } and the line y=12\mathrm { y } = \frac { 1 } { 2 } from x=1\mathrm { x } = - 1 to x=1\mathrm { x } = 1 . The pool is 10ft10 \mathrm { ft } by 20ft20 \mathrm { ft } and 8ft8 \mathrm { ft } deep.
If the pool is being filled at a rate of 200ft3/hr200 \mathrm { ft } ^ { 3 } / \mathrm { hr } , what is the force on the drain plate after 4 hours of filling? Round your answer to two decimal places if necessary.
