Question 1a) A 4m wide flat plate is submerged such that its top horizontal edge is at the surface of the water and the lower one is 8m below the water surface. Excluding atmospheric pressure, what is the force (in N) exerted by the water on each side? Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3 and "g" to be 9.8 m/s?
