The corner plate of a barge hull is curved, with a radius of 1.75 m. The barge is leaking, and the depth of submergence (draft) is 4.75 mas depicted in Figure P2.6.4. The water on the inside is up to level A, producing hydrostatic pressure on the inside as well as the outside. Determine the resultant horizontal hydrostatic pressure force and the resultant vertical hydrostatic force on plate AB per unit length of hull.
