: A rectangular plate 1.5m wide and 2.5m deep is placed vertically in water so that the center of plate is 4m below the free surface. Determine the total pressure and the depth of center of pressure. State also whether the equilibrium is stable or unstable. The above rectangular plate is taken out of the water which weighs 350.5 N in air and 173.3 N in water of specific gravity 0.99. Find the volume and specific gravity of the plate. Draw a neat sketch
