The center of pressure is equal to the total pressure force in case of a vertical plane surface
submerged in liquid.
Select one:
True
A vertical plate is submerged in water and has the shape as seen in the picture. Using the fact that the
weight of water is 62.5 lbs/ft³, calculate the hydrostatic force (in Ibs) against the end of the tank. Give
your answer correct to the nearest hundred.
(Hint: First set up a Riemann sum that approximates the hydrostatic force, which can then be used to
obtain an integral that represents the force.)
