A rectangular lamina of width b and depth d is submerged vertically in water, such that the upper edge of the lamina is at a depth h from the free surface. What will be the expression for the depth of the centroid (G)?

A rectangular lamina of width b and depth d is submerged vertically in water, such that the upper edge of the lamina is at a depth h from the free surface. What will be the expression for the depth of the centroid (G)? Correct Answer h + d ⁄ 2

The centroid of the lamina will be located at it’s centre. ( d ⁄ 2). Thus, the depth of the centre of pressure will be h + d ⁄ 2.
