Consider a frictionless, massless and leak-pr00 plug blocking a rectangular hole of dimensions 2Rx Lat the bottom of an open tank as shown in the figure. The head of the plug has the shape of a semi-cylinder of radius R. The tank is filled with a liquid of density p up to the tip of the plug. The gravitational acceleration is g. Neglect the effect of the atmospheric pressure.
