Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A submerged rectangular plate has dimensions 3m X 2m and is located at a depth of 4m in water. Calculate the force acting on the plate and the location of the center of pressure.

💡 Hint: Use the hydrostatic pressure formula and remember the trapezoidal distribution for vertical surfaces.

Question 2

Explain how the center of pressure shifts if the fluid density is doubled and the plate remains at the same depth.

💡 Hint: Consider if changing density affects the overall distribution profile.
