Question 2 A 5 foot by 5 foot square plate is placed in a pool filled with water to a depth of 8 feet. A. Evaluate the fluid force on one side of the plate if it is lying flat on its face at the bottom of the pool. (You may use the constant w to be the weight density of water in pounds per cubic foot.) B. Evaluate the fluid force on one side of the plate if one edge of the plate rests on the bottom of the pool, and the plate is suspended to that it makes a 45° angle to the bottom of the pool. C. If the angle is increased to 60°, will the force on each side of the plate increase, decrease, or stay the same? Justify your answer. Unlor
