Question: Problem 3 . The total hydrostatic force exerted on one face of a square plate ( the length of the side is L ) emersed

Problem 3.The total hydrostatic force exerted on one face of a square plate (the length of the side is L) emersed vertically in a bath of an oil (density o), with one edge on the free surface is given as F(Figure P2(a)). Assume no air pressure. Give the answers for the following questions in the unit of F.
(a) If the plate is lowered vertically by a distance L, what will be the total force Fa on one face of the wall?
(b) The plate is now emersed vertically in a separated water/oil bath with one edge on the free surface. The 13(in length) of the plate is in water and 23 of the plate is in oil. (Figure P2(b)) What is the total force Fh on one face of the wall? The density of water (w) is the half of the oil.
