5. A cylinder of diameter D and length L (into the paper) is immersed in water as shown.
Assume water density as p. Assume the cylinder is exposed to atmospheric pressure. Find
the magnitudes of horizontal and vertical forces due to the water column (i.e. hydrostatic
forces only) on surfaces of each of the four quadrants I, II, III, and IV. Clearly box your final
answers (There should be 8 expressions, 4 horizontal forces and 4 vertical forces).
