I don't just want the answer, I want to understand the process to answering this question. Thanks
3.2 Figure 3 shows a vertical flat plate which is fully submerged in water. The plate is 2 m
in length and 1 m wide. Calculate the magnitude of the force (F) acting on the plate
and the depth where this force will act on the sluice gate.

Figure 3 shows the plan view (top view) of a pair of gates which are hinged at the water channel walls.
The channel has a depth of 9 m and a width of 40 m. When the gates close, the gate edges are forced
together at the center of the channel by water pressure. While neglecting the weight of the gates
determine:
(a) The force exerted by the water on one gate
(b) The magnitude and direction of the force components exerted by the gate in part (a) on the hinge.
