A solid prism shape to be submerged in liquid with one face vertical and one face horizontal. Dimensions are as shown. NOT TO SCALE.
Prism shown submerged in liquid with horizontal upper surface at depth B. Line of sight perpendicular to face.
A solid prism has a vertical rectangular face of height H= .90 m by width W=.5 m and a horizontal rectangular face of length L= 1.2 m, with W=.5 m also. The prism is submerged in liquid whose density is D= 1600 kg/m^3 with the horizontal face at depth B= .35 m.
a. Find the total force exerted by the liquid on the horizontal rectangular surface of length L by width W at depth B.
b. Find the total force exerted by the liquid on the vertical rectangular surface, height H, width W, top edge at depth B.
c. Find the total force exerted by the liquid on the vertical triangular face with edge H vertical and edge L horizontal.
