P=ρgh^2/2
ρ=1000
g=9.81
h=1.3
Than put,

P=1000*9.81*1.3*1.3/2=8289.45N=8.289KN.

Hydraulic force P= rAh'.

Where h' = depth of center of gravity = h/2 in this case.

So P = r (L*h) h/2 = 9.81 * (1.3)^2 /2. ( L cancel out for per meter length).

Can anyone explain me how that area came?

Narpat said:   8 years ago
Here, w = &rho * g.

We know that, pressure= £gh ,where £= density.
Now, pressure exerted by the water (force) = pressure* area = £gh* wh/2 (pre dia is triangular =(1/2)*base*h),

So, pressure exerted per unit lenght(pressure/w) = £gh* h/2 = (1000*9.81*1.3*1.3)/2 = 8.29 kN.
