Answer:
Refer the above diagram for different forces acting on the wooden block as explained below
 
Fp = force due to average hydrostatic pressure = average pressure × area =  (1/2)ρgh × (b×h) = (1/2)×ρ×b×h×g
 
Fpv = vertical component of Fp(1/2)×ρ×b×h×g sinθ
 
Fph = horizontal component of Fp(1/2)×ρ×b×h×g cosθ
 
Fg = weight = mg
 
Fr = normal reaction force = Fph(1/2)×ρ×b×h×g cosθ
 
Ff = friction force = μ×Frμ (1/2)×ρ×b×h×g cosθ
 
By balancing the vertical forces we can write
begin mathsize 12px style F subscript p v end subscript space equals space F subscript f plus F subscript g
F subscript p v end subscript minus space F subscript f space equals space F subscript g
1 half rho b h squared g space sin open parentheses theta close parentheses space minus space 1 half rho b h squared g space cos open parentheses theta close parentheses space equals space m g

s o l v i n g space f o r space h space w e space w i l l space g e t space h space equals space square root of fraction numerator 2 m over denominator rho b space open parentheses space sin space theta space minus space mu cos space theta space close parentheses end fraction end root end style
