A large aquarium of height 5.00 m is filled with fresh water to a depth of 2.00 m. One wall of the aquarium consists of thick plastic 8.00 m wide. By how much does the total force on that wall increase if the aquarium is next filled to a depth of 4.00 m?
A flat roof is very susceptible to wind damage during a thunderstorm and/or tornado. If a flat roof has an area of 520 m2 and winds of speed 43.0 m/s blow across it, determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the roof. The density of air is 1.29 kg/m3.
