PROBLEM 2: A rectangular plane, 1.2 m by 1.8 m is submerged in water and makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal, the 1.2 m sides being horizontal. (a) Illustrate the situation (b) If the top edge of the plane is 1 meter below the free surface, determine the magnitude of hydrostatic force acting on either side of the plane in KN. (c) At what depth from the water surface is the hydrostatic force acting?
