Depth of Centroid given Center of Pressure Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Depth of Centroid = (Center of Pressure*Surface Area+sqrt((Center of Pressure*Surface Area)^2+4*Surface Area*Moment of Inertia))/(2*Surface Area)
D = (h^✶*SA_Wetted+sqrt((h^✶*SA_Wetted)^2+4*SA_Wetted*I))/(2*SA_Wetted)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Depth of Centroid - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Centroid below the free surface.
Center of Pressure - (Measured in Meter) - The Center of Pressure is the point where the total sum of a pressure field acts on a body, causing a force to act through that point.
Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface area of horizontal wetted plane.
Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Kilogram Square Meter) - Moment of Inertia of the section about an axis parallel to the free surface passing through the centroid of the area.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Center of Pressure: 100 Centimeter --> 1 Meter (Check conversion here)
Surface Area: 7.3 Square Meter --> 7.3 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Moment of Inertia: 3.56 Kilogram Square Meter --> 3.56 Kilogram Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D = (h^✶*SA_Wetted+sqrt((h^✶*SA_Wetted)^2+4*SA_Wetted*I))/(2*SA_Wetted) --> (1*7.3+sqrt((1*7.3)^2+4*7.3*3.56))/(2*7.3)

Evaluating ... ...

D = 1.35887789171495

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.35887789171495 Meter -->135.887789171495 Centimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

135.887789171495 ≈ 135.8878 Centimeter <-- Depth of Centroid

Define Center of Pressure?

The center of pressure is the point where the total sum of a pressure field acts on a body, causing a force to act through that point. The total force vector acting at the center of pressure is the value of the integrated vectorial pressure field. The resultant force and center of pressure location produce equivalent force and moment on the body as the original pressure field. Pressure fields occur in both static and dynamic fluid mechanics.
