Center of Pressure Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Center of Pressure = Depth of Centroid+Moment of Inertia/(Wet Surface Area*Depth of Centroid)
h^✶ = D+I/(A_w*D)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Center of Pressure - (Measured in Meter) - The Center of Pressure is the point on a submerged surface where the total pressure force acts, influencing the stability and behavior of submerged objects in fluid mechanics.
Depth of Centroid - (Measured in Meter) - The Depth of Centroid is the vertical distance from a reference point to the centroid of a fluid's surface, influencing pressure distribution in fluid mechanics.
Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Kilogram Square Meter) - The Moment of Inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to rotational motion about a specific axis, reflecting how mass is distributed relative to that axis.
Wet Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Wet Surface Area is the total area of a surface that is in contact with a fluid, influencing pressure and flow characteristics in fluid mechanics.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Depth of Centroid: 45 Centimeter --> 0.45 Meter (Check conversion here)
Moment of Inertia: 3.56 Kilogram Square Meter --> 3.56 Kilogram Square Meter No Conversion Required
Wet Surface Area: 14.38384 Square Meter --> 14.38384 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h^✶ = D+I/(A_w*D) --> 0.45+3.56/(14.38384*0.45)

Evaluating ... ...
