Question:

You are designing a wedge-shaped container as illustrated in Figure P18.4. You must choose a value for the angle \(\theta\), which then determines the other two equal angles in this isosceles wedge.

(a) When the container is filled with a fluid, what must the value of \(\theta\) be if \(F / A\), the ratio of the magnitude of the force exerted by the fluid on a side to the area of that side, is the same for all three sides?

(b) What must \(\theta\) be in order to have the magnitude of the force exerted by the fluid be the same on all three sides?

Data from Figure P18.4
