Answer: (a) 9.00 Mega Newtons or 9.00 * 10^6 N
(b) 17.1 m
Explanation: The length of wall under the surface can be given by
The average pressure on the surface of the wall is the pressure at the centeroid of the equilateral triangular block which can be then be calculated by multiplying it with the Plate Area which will provide us with the Resultant force.
Noting from the Bernoulli equation that
From the second image attached the distance of the pressure center from the free surface of the water along the surface of the wall is given by:
Substituting the values gives us the the distance of the surface to be equal to = 17.1 m
