CENG 70 Oct. 28, 2023, Problem Set No. 3 1. Avertical surface 4m, square has its upper edge horizontal and on the water surface. At what depth musta horizontal line be drawn on this surface to divide it into two parts on each of which the total pressure is the same? 2. Atriangular plate, 1m wide at the bae of 2.4 m deep, is vertically submerged in water with the vertex at the ‘water surface and its base parallel to the water surface. Evaluate how far, in meters, below the centroid of the plate is the resultant horizontal force acting on each side of it 3. Arrectangular plate 1 m. wide by 2.4m. long is vertically submerged in water, the shorter edge 2m. below and parallel to the water surface, Evaluate how far, in meters, below the centroid of the plate is the resultant horizontal force acting on each side of it 4, Avertical circular gate 0.90 m. in diameter is subjected to pressure of molasses, SG = 1.50, on one side.
