A rectangular plane, 1.2 m by 1.8 m is submerged in water and makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal, the 1.2 m sides being horizontal. 1. If the top of the edge of the plane is at the free surface, what would be the shape of the pressure distribution acting on the plane. 2. What is the minimum AND maximum pressure acting on the plane in kPa? 3. Find the magnitude of the hydrostatic force acting on either side of the plane in KN. Draw a figure with labeled pressure prism diagrams.
