Answer:
44100 N
Explanation:
Each wall will have dimension of 4 m x 1.5 m
Whole force will act on central point of wall situated at a depth of 1.5 /2 = .75m
pressure at CM = h d g , h = .75 , d ( density of water = 10³ )
pressure at CM = .75 x 10³ x 9.8
= 7350 N / m²
Total force on each wall
= pressure x area
= 7350 x 4 x 1.5
= 44100 N Ans
b ) If h = 1.5 x 2 = 3
Pressure = hdg
1.5 x 10³ x 9.8
= 14700 N / m²
Force
= pressure x area
14700 x 3 x 4
= 176400 N
Which is 4 times 44100 N
So force will quadruple.
It is so because both area and height have become twice.
Yan po hearts me later ☺️
