Question
A parallelepiped is hung from a wire inside a water tank as shown in the figure. The dimensions
shown are a = 29.0 cm, b = 23.2 cm, c = 53.2 cm, d = 8.03 cm and the upper face B is located at a
depth h = 70.7 cm. The parallelepiped density is 3.55 g/cm3. Denote with:
%3D
FB to the magnitude of the force exerted only by water on side B (i.e. omit atmospheric pressure)
and
FD to the magnitude of the force exerted only by water on side D.
