Hydrostatic Force & It's Location on a Plate

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating hydrostatic force and its location on a submerged equilateral plate measuring 10 meters in length. The plate is situated underwater at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Participants discussed the challenges of using AutoCAD for drawing and shared alternative methods for visual representation. The conversation highlights the importance of accurate angle measurements in hydrostatic calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of hydrostatic pressure principles
  • Knowledge of geometry related to equilateral shapes
  • Familiarity with fluid mechanics concepts
  • Basic skills in using drawing software for visual aids
NEXT STEPS
  • Research hydrostatic force calculation methods
  • Learn about the centroid location of submerged shapes
  • Explore fluid pressure equations in different fluids
  • Investigate software alternatives for engineering drawings
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, students in fluid mechanics, and professionals involved in hydraulic design will benefit from this discussion.

Please explain how I calc the hydrostatic force and it's location on the plate.


Above the drawing is says:
A 10m equlateral plate under water
Assume 60 degrees F

I clicked on 'Manage Attatchments' to upload the drawing. Give me a minute to do it another way if it won't show up.
Thanks,
RonelleNote: I couldn't use AutoCAD to draw it because it wouldn't show up on the boards, so I had to use a paint program so please excuse the unaligned flubs and stuff...I doubt my 50 degree is 50 degrees either

How do i use html? just past the code or do i need to be in a different mode? http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-10/844417/Image2.jpg
lol we'll see

Fixed your link, SheCanBuild
