QUESTION:
The parabolic plate is subjected to a fluid pressure that varies linearly from 0 at its top to 100 lb/ft at its bottom B. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its location on the plate
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 6
The side of the tank with parabolic shape is under pressure. The pressure is linearly distributed and is 0 at the top and at the bottom. Find the magnitude of the force on the plate and find the point where the line of action passes through the plate.
