Answer to Problem 17FP
The magnitude of the hydrostatic force acting per meter length of the wall
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The density of the water
The height of wall
Explanation:
Determine the loading intensity
Here, the acceleration due to gravity is g and the width of the wall is b.
Determine the magnitude of the hydrostatic force
Conclusion:
Substitute
Substitute
Thus, the magnitude of the hydrostatic force acting per meter length of the wall
