Question: A L = 5 - m high, W = 5 - m wide rectangular plate blocks the end of a freshwater channel, to depth H

A L=5-m high, W=5-m wide rectangular plate blocks the end of a freshwater channel,
to depth H. The plate is hinged about a horizontal axis along its upper edge through a
point A and is restrained from opening by a fixed ridge at point B. Determine the forces
at A and B to be exerted on the plate. The will depend on H. First solve analytically.
Use a code package (MATLAB/Python/Excel) to plot FA and FB vs H on the same
graph
A L = 5 - m high, W = 5 - m wide rectangular
