Homework Statement
a) Determine the horizontal and vertical forces acting on a wall sloped at angle, θ, to the horizontal seafloor as a function of z. Assume that the water is h deep and that atmospheric pressure acts everywhere. b) Determine the total resulting force and center of pressure.
Homework Equations
I really don't know what to use. Let's see:
F = P_cg*A = (P_a + pgh_cg)A, where P_cg is the pressure at centre of gravity, P_a is the atmospheric pressure
The Attempt at a Solution
I really don't know how to approach this question, that's why I'm asking for help.
