Solved: The pressure loading on the plate varies uniformly
Chapter 9, Problem 9-115(choose chapter or problem)
The pressure loading on the plate varies uniformly along each of its edges. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force and the coordinates \((\bar{x}, \bar{y})\) of the point where the line of action of the force intersects the plate. Hint: The equation defining the boundary of the load has the form p = ax + by + c, where the constants a, b, and c have to be determined.
