Refresher - HYDRAULICS Quiz 13PROBLEM 1-3:
A triangular plate of height h = 1.2 m and base b = 2 m is submerged vertically in a water
with its top edge (base) at the liquid surface and parallel to it.
➀ Evaluate the total force acting on one side of the plate, in N.
➁ Obtain the location of the force from the center of gravity of the plate, in mm.
➂ Obtain the location of the force from the liquid surface, in mm.
Solution: w.s. 2.0 m
