Admission to the Engineering course at Cambridge is highly competitive, both in terms of the numbers and quality of applicants. In considering applicants, Colleges look for evidence both of academic ability and of motivation towards Engineering. There are no absolute standards required of A Level achievement, but it should be noted that the average entrant to the Department has three A* grades. You need to get top marks in Maths and Physics.All Colleges strongly prefer applicants for Engineering to be taking a third subject that is relevant to Engineering.
Hope that helps and good luck if you are applying. Can you please mark this as brainliest and press the thank you button and if you have any further questions please let me know!!
Answer:
Hydrostatic force = 41168 N
Explanation:
Complete question
A triangular plate with a base 5 ft and altitude 3 ft is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 4 ft below the surface. If the base is in the surface of water, find the force against onr side of the plate. Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Recall that the weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft3.)
Let "x" be the side length submerged in water.
Then
w(x)/base = (4+3-x)/altitude
w(x)/5 = (4+3-x)/3
w(x) = 5* (7-x)/3
Hydrostatic force = 62.5 integration of x * 4 * (10-x)/3 with limits from 4 to 7
HF = integration of 40x - 4x^2/3
HF = 20x^2 - 4x^3/9 with limit 4 to 7
HF = (20*7^2 - 4*7^(3/9))- (20*4^2 - 4*4^(3/9))
HF = 658.69 N *62.5 = 41168 N
