Question
Reconsider Prob. 11-14. Using EES (or other) 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.
Step 1
Identify the key variables involved in the force exerted on the plate by the ridge, including water depth (h), density of water (Ļ), gravitational acceleration (g), and the area of the plate (A). Show more…

A vertical, irregularly shaped plate is submerged in water. The table shows measurements of its width, taken at the indicated depths. Use Simpson's Rule to estimate the force of the water against the plate. $$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Depth (m) } & 2.0 & 2.5 & 3.0 & 3.5 & 4.0 & 4.5 & 5.0 \\ \hline \text { Plate width (m) } & 0 & 0.8 & 1.7 & 2.4 & 2.9 & 3.3 & 3.6 \\ \hline \end{array}$$
