A vertical plate is submerged in water and has the shape as seen in the picture. Using the fact that the weight of water is 62.5 lbs/ft³, calculate the hydrostatic force (in Ibs) against the end of the tank. Give your answer correct to the nearest hundred. (Hint: First set up a Riemann sum that approximates the hydrostatic force, which can then be used to obtain an integral that represents the force.) 12 ft 8 ft 20 ft Hydrostatic force = Ibs
Calculate the depth of the center of pressure for vertical rectangular plate having a height h = 10ft and base b = 5ft, and submerged in a liquid with its base at the liquid surface. If the upper base of the vertical rectangular plate given in the example problem is submerged by 12ft below the water surface, determine the location of the hydrostatic force and center of pressure. Answer should be (53,040 lbf and 17.4902ft)
A tank is filled with fluid under pressure and the pressure gauge fixed at the top indicates a pressure of 21 kPa. The curved surface of the top is quarter of a circular part of radius 2.6 m. calculate the magnitude (N) and direction (degree) of the resultant force on the curved surface.

The total pressure force of a square plate is 25 kN, placed vertically in water so that the center of the plate is 1.5 m below the free surface. Determine the size of the plate and the depth of center of pressure. The above square plate is taken out of the water which weighs 370.5 N in air and 180.3 N in water of specific gravity 0.99. Find the volume and specific gravity of the square plate. Draw a neat sketch.

A vertical plate is submerged in water and has the shape as seen in the picture. Using the facts that the density of water is 1000 kg/m³ and acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s², calculate the hydrostatic force (in N) against the end of the tank. Make sure your answer is correct to the nearest thousand. (Hint: First set up a Riemann sum that approximates the hydrostatic force, which can then be used to obtain an integral that represents the force.) 20 m Hydrostatic force =
If you have a seawater aquarium, you have probably used a small cylindrical glass tube with a lead-weight at its bottom to measure the salinity of the water by simply watching how deep the tube sinks. Such a device that floats in a vertical position and is used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid is called a hydrometer . The top part of the hydrometer extends above the liquid surface, and the divisions on it allow one to read the specific gravity directly. The hydrometer is calibrated such that in pure water it reads exactly 1.0 at the air–water interface. (a) Obtain a relation for the specific gravity of a liquid as a function of distance Δz from the mark corresponding to pure water and (b) determine the mass of lead that must be poured into a 1-cm-diameter, 20-cm-long hydrometer if it is to float halfway (the 10-cm mark) in pure water.
