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. Line of action FR= PcA Pe Center of pressure Centroid of area
