A circular opening, 6m diameter, in a vertical side of a tank is closed by a disc of 6m diameter which can rotate about a horizontal diameter. Calculate the force on the disc. The centre of circular opening is at the depth of 5 m.

A circular opening, 6m diameter, in a vertical side of a tank is closed by a disc of 6m diameter which can rotate about a horizontal diameter. Calculate the force on the disc. The centre of circular opening is at the depth of 5 m. Correct Answer 1.38 MN

F=w*A*ŷ =9.81*1000*3.142*32*5 =1.38 MN.
