The water in a 25-m-deep reservoir is kept inside by a 140-m-wide wall whose cross section is an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure Water 25 m 60° 60° Determine the total force (hydrostatic+ atmospheric) acting on the inner surface of the wall and its line of action. Take the value of g as 9.81 m/s2, the atmospheric pressure as 100,000 N/m2, and the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3 throughout. x 108 N The total force (hydrostatic + atmospheric) acting on the inner surface of the wall is The distance of the pressure center from the free surface of water along the wall surface is m.

 (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
