- There are various methods that can be used to calculate the hydrostatic force on a submerged surface. Which of the following statements are correct? (i) (iii) The pressure prism method gives good understanding of the fundamentals but it can only be used for plane surface uniform in the spanwise direction. The parallel axis theorem can be used for surface not uniform in the spanwise direction such as a circular or triangular plane surfaces, but it is limited to simple geometry where the second moment of area can be easily defined. The elementary area method can be used for any 2 or 3 dimensional surface as long as the geometric unit normal vector is known at any point on the surface.
