How to Calculate Hydrostatic Force and Center of Pressure on a Gate?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the hydrostatic force on a gate submerged under 3 meters of water, one must determine the pressure force and the location of the center of pressure. The relevant formula for the center of pressure is Ycenter pressure = yc + (Ixc + sin²θ / A*yc). Users are encouraged to share their calculations to receive assistance with any difficulties encountered. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding hydrostatic principles and applying them correctly. Accurate calculations are essential for engineering applications involving submerged structures.

Hello Salomatik,

Welcome to Physics forums.

Could you show your working so that we can help where you are stuck?
 
Hello
This is my solution but i don't know location of the center of pressure?

IWhich formule location of center of pressure?

Ycenter pressure= yc+ (Ixc+sin^2θ /A*yc) ?

Thank you.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
