Question

A vertical wall of height \(6\) m is subjected to a pressure by a liquid of height \(4\) m on one of its sides. The total pressure from the liquid surface acts at a distance of

• A. \(\dfrac{4}{3}\) m
• B. \(2\) m
• C. \(\dfrac{8}{3}\) m
• D. \(4\) m

Hint:

For a vertical rectangular surface with its top at the free surface, \[ \boxed{ h_{cp}=\frac{2h}{3} } \] where \(h\) is the depth of the liquid.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
