Question: Figure 3 . 6 : The cilindrical structure. Figure 3 . 5 shows a schematic of a cilindrical structure with a diameter of 3 .

Figure 3.6: The cilindrical structure.
Figure 3.5 shows a schematic of a cilindrical structure with a diameter of 3.9m. A 1.95m
high wall is placed on top of the cilinder with an angle of 45. The structure is 5.3m long
(the dimension orthogonal to the cross-section presented below). The water depth is 5.85m
on the left hand side, and 3.9m on the right hand side. Calculate the resulting hydrostatic
force and its position on the structure (use the system of axes in Figure 3.6).
Find
The horizontal component of the hydrostatic force : N
The vertical component of the hydrostatic force : N
The total hydrostatic force : N
The location x of the hydrostatic force : m
The location y of the hydrostatic force : m
The angle with respect to the horizontal direction of the hydrostatic force : Degrees
