The side of a square plane surface is 0.84m and to be placed vertically below the water surface. The immersion is such that the two edges of the square are horizontal. If it is desired that the center of pressure be 1.54cm from the center of gravity of the plane area, how far below the water surface (in meters) should the center of gravity of the immersed plane should be?
