A Rectangular Plate, Having a Height Of $4.00 \mathrm{~m}$ And a Width Of

Short Answer

A rectangular plate, having a height of $4.00 \mathrm{~m}$ and a width of $5.00 \mathrm{~m}$ is submerged vertically such that its top edge is $10.00 \mathrm{~m}$ below the surface of the water. Determine the pressure of the water acting on the plate to three significant digits. Recall that the mass density of water is $1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ and that gravity is $9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ .
