Question
A rectangular plane of 6m wide and 7.5m deep lies in water in such way that the plane makes an angle of 30° with the free surface of water. Determine the total pressure force and position of center of pressure, when upper plate is 7m below the free surface of water & the centroid of the plane is 7.75m below the free surface. Draw the diagram neatly. 2. Also, find the total pressure force and the position of center of pressure when the same rectangular plate is kept vertical position by coinciding width with the free surface of water. Draw the diagram for this case also.
