A square plate having one of its side equal to 3m is immerse in a water surface in a vertical position such that the two edges of the square would be horizontal in order that the center of pressure shall be 8 cm. from the center of gravity. (a) How far below the water surface should the upper plate submerged? (b) What is the distance of the center of pressure from the water surface? (c) Determine the hydrostatic force acting on the plate at this position.

Nonmechanical properties refer to characteristics of the material, other than load response, that affect selection, use, and performance. There are several types of properties that are of interest to engineers, but those of the greatest concern to civil engineers are density, thermal properties, and surface characteristics.
