(i) A rectangular plane surface 2m wide and 3m deep lies in water in such a way that its plane
makes an angle of 300 with the free surface of water. Determine the total pressure and depth of centre
of pressure. When the upper edge is 1.5m below the free water surface.
1.a.(ii) A circular gate in a vertical wall has a diameter of 4m. The water surface on the upstream side
is 8m above the top of the gate and on the downstream side 1m above the top of the gate. Find the
forces acting on the two side of the gate and the resultant force acting on the gate and its location.
