A wooden plank of length
1 m and uniform cross section is hinged at one end to the bottom of a tank as shown in figure (13-W5). The tank is filled with water up to a height of
0.5 m. The specific gravity of the plank is
0.5. Find the angle
θ that the plank makes with the vertical in the equilibrium position. (Exclude the case
θ=0 ).
