An inclined circular-shaped (diameter = 2 m) flat plate is entirely submerged in water. The plane of the surface intersects the horizontal free surface with an angle of 30°. Given the inclined distance at centroid from free surface = 1.5 m. Assume both sides of the plate are subjected to Patm: Calculate the (i) resultant hydrostatic force acting on the flat plate, (ii) its location, and (iii) hydrostatic pressure (Pgauge) acting on the center of pressure.
