A horizontal 9.2-m-diameter conduit is half filled with a liquid \( (\mathrm{SG}=0.9) \) and is capped at both ends with plane vertical surfaces. Determine the location \( \left(y_{R}\right. \), in \( \left.m\right) \) of the resultant force of the fluid acting on one of the end caps. The first figure illustrates the problem setting, and the second figure provides helpful equations to solve this problem. The specific weight for water is \( 9.81 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{3} \). Important note: you will likely get different diameter and SG values in this problem than what you got in Question 5, so do not use any conclusion from Question 5 to continue with this question!!!
