LOCATION OF RESULTANT FORCE AT y DIRECTION, yR
Location of force, yR is based on x-y coordinate system
originating from O as origin to the submerged center of pressure
at y direction.
yR is calculated using equation 3.2:
I xc
yR = + yc
ycA ……………………… 3.2
where:
Ixc = Second moment of area with respect to an axis
passing through its centroid and parallel to the x axis
(m4) – See Table 3.1
yc = Distance from fluid surface at point O to the
submerged plane center directed along y coordinate
system (m).
