QUESTION 3: An inclined semicircular-shaped (diameter = 7 m) flat plate is entirely submerged in coconut oil (SG = 0.903). The angle between the free surface and the plane of the surface is 47°. Given the hydrostatic P (Pgauge) acting on center of pressure was 73.2 kPa. Assume the both sides of the plate are subjected to Patm. Calculate the: Line of action F=PeA Center of pressure Centroid of area (a) Density of coconut oil. (b) Vertical height from free surface to center of pressure. (c) Inclined distance at centroid from free surface. (d) The resultant hydrostatic force acting on the flat plate.
