A triangular plate with base 6 m and height 2 m is submerged vertically in water such that the highest vertex of the plate is 4 meters below the surface and the base is horizontal to the surface.
4 m ( from water surface to top of triangle )
6 m ( triangle width )
2 m (triangle height )
Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Recall that the weight density of water is 1,000 kg/m3.)
