Question
In the water, a square plate with (side= a) is lying vertically, with its upper horizontal edge touching the water's surface. The positions of the centre of pressure (h*) on the planar surface and the total pressure force (P) will be determined by: [Where, p is the density of water (a) P=pga/2, h=2/3.a (b) P=pga¹/2, h=2/5.a (c) P pga/4, h-2/5.a (d) P=pga/3, h=2/3.a (e) P=pga¹/5, h=2/7.a
