Question: For a rectangular gate ( a b ) submerged in water as shown, the magnitude of the hydrostatic force acting on the gate can be

For a rectangular gate (ab) submerged in water as shown, the magnitude of the hydrostatic force acting on the gate can be calculated using Fp?b=ar(p)A, and the location of the center of pressure (CP) can be calculated using VCP-bar(y)=?bar(1)(?bar(y))A, for the gate we know a=3m,b=2m,=30,Ywater=9810Nm3, and the centroid of the gate is 1 meter below the free surface verticallv. calculate the following values: the value of A in unit of m2
