Example 3.5. A square aperture in the vertical side of a tank has one diagonal vertical and is completely covered by a plane plate hinged along one of the upper sides of the aperture. The diagonals of the aperture are 2.4 m long and the tank contains a liquid of specific gravity 1.2. The centre of aperture is 1.8 m below the free surface. Calculate: (i) The thrust exerted on the plate by the liquid; (ii) The position of its centre of pressure. (Anna University)
