A small barge is being used to transport trucks across a river. If the barge is 10.00 m long by 8.00 m wide and sinks an additional 3.70 cm into the river when a loaded truck pulls onto it, determine the weight of the truck and load.
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.
