    The document discusses several problems involving hydrostatic forces on plane surfaces, gates, and other structures submerged in water or other fluids: 1) It presents multiple examples of calculating hydrostatic forces and pressures on rectangular and curved surfaces like gates, plates, and tank walls based on the depth and characteristics of the surrounding fluid. 2) Determining the forces required to open or close gates of different shapes and sizes, accounting for factors like hinges, fluid pressures, and weights. 3) Calculating total pressures, center of pressures, and stability of structures like tanks containing mixtures of water and other fluids.
