Hydrostatic force incline plane

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the formula Yc = hc/sin 60 in relation to hydrostatic force on an inclined plane. Participants seek clarification on the derivation of this equation and its components, particularly the significance of Yc and hc. Visual aids are requested to enhance comprehension of the concepts involved. There is also a query about the necessity of dividing two shears in the final calculation and the basic definition of a ratio. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for clearer explanations and visual representations to grasp the topic effectively.

I understand all the concepts, the only thing I don't know is were does Yc=hc/sin 60 comes from.
Im kind of visual, if you could upload how you do it, it would help

Where is Yc? Is it the hypoteneuse of the triangle with hc?
 
Got it...
 
Can someone explain why do I need to divide the two shears?(last step)

Is ratio calculated just by dividing two things?
 
That's the definition of 'ratio'.
