Here, area =3*4 taken as it is the Projected area.

Then it is vertical.

Centre of gravity.

So, the depth divided by 2.

What is kgf?

Rakeah soni said:   7 years ago
Here 1kgf = 9.81N.

How Area is 3 * 4? It's a cylinder.

Here vertical due to water on the cylinder is cancel out. So that resultant vertical force equal to the weight of the cylinder.

Then horizontal force equal to the volume of pressure diagram i.e.

= (1/2)*3*1000*3*4.

= 18000kgf.

Horizontal projected area = 3 * 4=12 m2.
Total horizontal triangular force= 0.5* 3000* 3=4500 kgf per m strip of cylinder,
Hence, the total force = 4500* 4 = 18000 kgf.
