2.5.1 Thrust on a plane surface<br />

Figure 2.15 shows a plane surface <strong>of</strong> arbitrary shape, wholly submerged<br />

in a liquid in equilibrium. The plane <strong>of</strong> the surface makes an angle θ with<br />

the horizontal, and the intersection <strong>of</strong> this plane with the plane <strong>of</strong> the free
