While walking along a trail next to a long straight concrete-walled irrigation ditch you notice a rectangular platform floating close to, but not touching, the west side of the ditch. The platform remains oriented so that the long sides are parallel to the walls of the ditch, but can't touch the side of the ditch. The water in the ditch is flowing north and its flow is laminar. You can see that the platform is held in place by a cable at each end that extends down into the water, but the water is too murky for you to tell where they're anchored. But you've been studying fluid dynamics, so you figure out that the anchor point of each cable must be in which direction (other than below) from where it's attached to the floating platform? (Hints: There will beffwdffects from the water's flow, so be sure to consider both. Think about twhere, relative to the platform, the flow must be fastest.)

Question

I need more detail about my answer, so watch the professor's comment and write your solution more detail. I attach the question and the professor's comment.

My answer: According to fluid dynamics. Where the velocity is large, the pressure will smaller. The velocity of water flow is maximum at center of ditch i.e, towards east relative to platform.

Therefore answer is D
