here in this question , there is a cube of dimension of a,b,c and there is a door like an arc of a circle having radius R and due to the open space between the door and the cube ther appears a hole which causes the water to leak out of the cube filled fully with water afrom point T .
Now you all have to find the force F that has to be applied on point T to prevent
leakage of water through hole "T" ?

you aaren't wasting ur time
If u think so then u have already lost the race to Get into IIT
COz such questions help u get ur concepts get better
And are nothing but practice for you However I am putting on the solution I some minutes.

So here is the answer Well it was a difficult one and I tried putting it up for
The GOIITians
Here
= Angle between the line (of R inthe fig. ) and the horizontal '' b ''
= Angle between the line (of R inthe fig. ) and the horizontal '' b ''First
The pressure that will be acting on the potion aprt from the door will be
dP = P ( a - Rsin
)
)As the length of the door will be (a - R Sin
)
)dFx = Pcg(a - R Sin
)R.d
* Sin
)R.d
* Sin
dFy = Pcg (a- Rsin
)Rd
* Cos
)Rd
* Cos
Knowing that T = F*R
So the below relations are as per the horizontal and vertical components
And
is the density of the liquid that is inside the Cube.
is the density of the liquid that is inside the Cube.dTFx =
cg ( a -Rin

. (R - RCos
)dTFy =
cg (a - Rsin
)d
.Cos
.(RSin
)
cg (a - Rsin

.Cos
.(RSin
)Now resolving along the line of resultant "F"
dT = dTFx + dTFy
Where T is the torque
=

cg(a -Rsin

=
cgR2 [ aSin

cgR2 [ aSin

] d
=
cgR2 [ -a [cos
] { from 0 to pi/2 } - R(1 - Cos2
/ 2 ) ] d
cgR2 [ -a [cos
] { from 0 to pi/2 } - R(1 - Cos2
/ 2 ) ] d
=
cgR2 [ a - R ( d
/ 2 - Cos2
/ 2 .d
]
cgR2 [ a - R ( d
/ 2 - Cos2
/ 2 .d
]=
cgR2 [a - R
/4 - (Sin2
/4).d
cgR2 [a - R
/4 - (Sin2
/4).d
Sin 2
/4 = 0 as it is from 0 to
/2
/4 = 0 as it is from 0 to
/2=
cgR2 [a - R
/4 ]
cgR2 [a - R
/4 ]Therefore we will get
Where F is the force to be applied on point T to avoid leakage of liquid
F*R = T
F*R =
cgR2[a - R
/4]
cgR2[a - R
/4]F =
cgR[a - R
/4]
cgR[a - R
/4]Hence the answer
plZ rate me for my efforts
Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey man..i do appreciate ur efforts..........BUT
saying that this wud help us is completely wrong ( frm point of view of IIT )
these kind of questions are for those who are aiming for
INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIAD....
moreover....u didnt get the desired response from goiitians because
the question was a bit difficult to understand pictorially....
moreover....ur question shud have that something which forces us all to attempt ur questions...
like i got a pretty awsome response for my killer series ( a series of tough mathematical problems which can be found in the alzebra section..) because each ques. seemed to be solvable yet unsolvable...
newayz...i wud give u a salute for ur efforts...
astalavista...
