Here is how the Depth of Center of Pressure equation looks like.

50.5 = 50 + (\frac{2 \cdot 50 + 50}{50 + 50}) \cdot (\frac{1000}{3})

50.5m = 50m + (\frac{2 \cdot 50m + 50m}{50m + 50m}) \cdot (\frac{1000mm}{3})

50.5 = 50 + (\frac{2 \cdot 50 + 50}{50 + 50}) \cdot (\frac{1000}{3})

Depth of Center of Pressure Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Depth of Center of Pressure?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

D = h 1 + (\frac{2 \cdot D h2 + h 1}{D h2 + h 1}) \cdot (\frac{b}{3})

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

D = 50m + (\frac{2 \cdot 50m + 50m}{50m + 50m}) \cdot (\frac{1000mm}{3})

Next Step Convert Units

∴

D = 50m + (\frac{2 \cdot 50m + 50m}{50m + 50m}) \cdot (\frac{1m}{3})

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

D = 50 + (\frac{2 \cdot 50 + 50}{50 + 50}) \cdot (\frac{1}{3})

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

D = 50.5m
