The only force acting on the plate is gravity/its own weight
1) gravity - только если плита неподвижна;
2) ИМХО, оригинал некорректен - удельный вес действовать не может.

Поэтому я и не употребляю "specific gravity/weight".

Discussion
Масса и вес разные вещи.
Но вес назвать force я думаю неверно
Вопрос мой связан с формулировкой. Может ли удельный вес действовать на что-то? Ведь удельный вес -- это характеристика тела.
Короче, нужно дать контекст - ты ж не новичок...
