Determine the hydrostatic force acting on a vertical trapezoidal section whose upper base is flushed parallel to the liquid surface. The top base measures 2 m and the lower base is twice the length of its top. One of its remaining side is upright vertical while the other is inclined 45° with the horizontal. Calculate as well the location of its center of pressure.
