The total pressure force of a square plate is 25 kN, placed vertically in water so that the center of the plate is 1.5 m below the free surface. Determine the size of the plate and the depth of center of pressure. The above square plate is taken out of the water which weighs 370.5 N in air and 180.3 N in water of specific gravity 0.99. Find the volume and specific gravity of the square plate. Draw a neat sketch.
