A vertical triangular plate whose height is 3.6 m has its base horizontal and vertex upper most in the water surface. (a) Find the depth to which it must be lowered from its vertex so that the difference in level between the cener of gravity and the center of pressure shall be 20 cm. (b) How far is the center of pressure below the water surface. (c) What is the base width of the plate if the total hydrostatic force acting on the plate is 76.28 KN?
