Calculate the total hydrostatic force on a vertical wall that is 3 m high submerged in water. Assume water density is 1000 kg/m³.
💡 Hint: Use the trapezoidal rule for approximation.
Analyze a case where a flat plate is submerged in three different fluids, with densities 1000 kg/m³, 950 kg/m³, and 850 kg/m³ at varying depths. How would you compute the resultant pressure?
💡 Hint: Consider the contributions from each fluid layer and sum them.
