Answer:
46292640.48 N
Explanation:
a = Accelration of the water = 0
A = Cross sectional area = [tex]879\ m^2[/tex]
[tex]\rho[/tex] = Density of water = [tex]1002\ kg/m^3[/tex]
u = Velocity of water = 12 m/s
V = Volume of body = [tex]9813\ m^3[/tex]
[tex]C_d[/tex] = Drag coefficient = 0.73
[tex]C_m[/tex] = Inertia coefficient = 0.34
[tex]F=\rho C_mVa+\frac{1}{2}\rho C_dAu^2\\\Rightarrow F=1002\times 0.34\times 9813\times 0+\frac{1}{2}\times 1002\times 0.73\times 879\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow F=46292640.48\ N[/tex]
The force exerted on the leg of the platform is 46292640.48 N
