wall width as 2 m.
Figure 2
1.5 m
2 m
2.5 m
A 3.5m x 3.5m square plate was immersed in water such that two of its edges were vertical. In order for the center of pressure to be 80 mm from the center of gravity.
a. How far below the water surface is the upper edge of the said plate?
b. What is the distance of the center of the pressure from the free water surface?
c. Determine the Hydrostatic force in kN acting on the plate.
Which of the two walls in Figure below gives the larger horizontal force? (Show calculations.)
