Hydrostatic Force on the plane surface - Hydraulics Example 2

Hydrostatic Force on the Triangular Vertical Plane Surface To find the total pressure and the center of pressure on a vertical plane submerged in water, you can follow these steps: 1. Force =hg x Fluid density x g x A 2. Center of Pressure (Location of Force): The center of pressure is the point at which the total force acts. For a vertical plane, the center of pressure is located below the centroid due to the pressure distribution. It can be calculated as: hp = hg + Ig / A * hg
