An inclined elliptical-shaped (semi major axis = 10 m & semi minor axis = 7 m) flat plate is entirely submerged in crude oil (p = 930 kg/m3). The angle between the free surface and the plane of the surface is 55°. Given the hydrostatic P (Pgauge) acting on center of pressure was 95 kPa. Assume the both sides of the plate are subjected to Patm: Calculate the (i) vertical height from free surface to center of pressure, (ii) inclined distance at centroid from free surface, and (iii) the resultant hydrostatic force acting on the flat pate.
