A rectangular plate 0.6 m wide & 1.2 m in depth lies in a large closed container. The air above the water is compressed to gauge a pressure of 20 kPa. The plate is inclined at 45° to horizontal & top edge is 0.7 m below the water surface. Find pressure force on one side of the plate in kN [corrected up to 2 decimal places]
Enter numerical value using the virtual keypad. Round off where necessary.
