Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Total depth of the bottom of the plate is 4 + 1 = 5
Force = limit(5,1) 62.5 *7* x * dx
= 437.5. Lim(5,1) x*dx
= 437.5(x^2/2)^5 , 1
= 437.5 x (5^2/2 - 1/2)
= 437.5 x 12
= 5,250 pounds
2√30
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
7^2 + b^2 = 13^2
b^2 = 120
b = 2√30
