Find the hydrostatic force acting on the window and locate the corresponding center of pressure (CP).
A 6-m-hight, 4-m-wide rectangular gate is located at the end of an open freshwater tank. The gate is hinged at the top and held in place by a force F. The pressure is proportional to the depth of the water and the average pressure p_avg exerted on the gate by the water is: where deltap is the difference in pressure between the bottom of the gate (P_1) and the surface (p_0). The resulting force of the water on the gate...
