A car, travelling from Kangar to Padang Besar, has met an accident near the dam. The driver has managed to get out of the car and closed his door before the car lands at the bottom of the dam on its wheels. The door is 1.5-m high and 0.72-m wide, and the top edge of the door is 15-m below the water surface.

One side of the container has a 03-m square door that is hinged at its top edge. If the container is filled with water, determine the smallest force F that must be applied to the bottom edge of the door to keep it closed.
A 6-m-high, 5-m-wide rectangular plate blocks the end of a 5-m-deep freshwater channel, as shown . The plate is hinged about a horizontal axis along its upper edge through a point A and is restrained from opening by a fixed ridge at point B. Using appropriate software, investigate the effect of water depth on the force exerted on the plate by the ridge. Let the water depth vary from 0 to 5 m in increments of 0.5 m. Tabulate and plot your results.
