A circular plate 3 m in diameter is immersed in water in such a way that it makes an angle of 60º with the free surface of water. Determine the total hydrostatic force on one side of the plate and the vertical distance to the centre of pressure when the upper edge of the plate is 2 m below the free water surface.
