A flat steel plate is used to seal an opening 1 m wide by 2m high in the vertical wall of a large water (p =1000 kg/m^3) tank. When the water level in the tank is 15 m above the top of the opening, determine the magnitude of the resultant forceR exerted on the plate by the water pressure and the distance from the centroid of the area of the plate to the center of pressure.
