A semicircular plate with radius 6 m is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 2 m above the surface. Express the hydr
ostatic 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 1000 kg/m3.)

Answer: 313920
Explanation:First, we’re going to assume that the top of the circular plate surface is 2 meters under the water. Next, we will set up the axis system so that the origin of the axis system is at the center of the plate.
Finally, we will again split up the plate into n horizontal strips each of width Δy and we’ll choose a point y∗ from each strip. Attached to this is a sketch of the set up.
The water’s surface is shown at the top of the sketch. Below the water’s surface is the circular plate and a standard xy-axis system is superimposed on the circle with the center of the circle at the origin of the axis system. It is shown that the distance from the water’s surface and the top of the plate is 6 meters and the distance from the water’s surface to the x-axis (and hence the center of the plate) is 8 meters.
The depth below the water surface of each strip is,
di = 8 − yi
and that in turn gives us the pressure on the strip,
Pi =ρgdi = 9810 (8−yi)
The area of each strip is,
Ai = 2√4− (yi) 2Δy
The hydrostatic force on each strip is,
Fi = Pi Ai=9810 (8−yi) (2) √4−(yi)² Δy
The total force on the plate is found on the attached image.

Answer:
The answers to the question are
(i) The rate of heat loss per-unit-length (W/m) from the pipe is 131.62 W
(ii) The temperature of the outer surface of the insulation is 49.89 °C
Explanation:
To solve the question, we note that the heat transferred is given by
Where
= Temperature at the inside of the pipe = 300 °C
= Temperature at the outside of the pipe = 20 °C
r₁ =internal radius of pipe = 4.0 cm
r₂ = Outer radius of pipe = 4.5 cm
r₃ = Outer radius of the insulation = r₂ + 2.5 = 7.0 cm
= 15 W/m·K
= 0.038 W/m·K
= 75 W/m²·K
= 10 W/m²·K
Plugging in the values in the above equation where for a unit length L = 1 m, we have
Q = 131.32 W
From which we have, for the film of air at the pipe outer boundary layer
Where
for the air film on the pipe outer surface is given by
where A =area of the outside of the pipe
= = 0.227 K/W
Therefore
131.32 W = which gives
= 49.89 °C
Heat transferred by radiation = q' = ε×σ×(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)
Where ε = 0.9, σ, = 5.67×10⁻⁸W/m²·(K⁴)
T₁ = Surface temperature of the pipe = 49.89 °C and
T₂ = Temperature of the surrounding = 20.00 °C
Plugging in the values gives, q' = 0.307 W per m²
Total heat lost per unit length = 131.32 + 0.307 =131.62 W
