Q2(a) Given a condition of a rectangular plate of 0.3 m × 0.5 m is immersed vertically in the water with its longer side is vertical, and the total hydrostatic force on one side of the plate is 17.6 kN. Comment if the plate is turned in a vertical plane about its center of gravity by 60° and all other parameters are the same, what would happen to the total hydrostatic force and the center of pressure of the plate.
