Question
Compute the depth of the center of pressure for a
vertical triangular gate having a height "h" and a base
width "b" and submerged in a liquid with its vertex at
the liquid surface.
If the vertex is 1m below the surface, determine the
location of the center of pressure from the surface if b
=5m and d = 4m. And Compute also the total
hydrostatic force on one side of the gate.
