Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount and direction of force acting of the glass viewing windows are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The force (F)

acting on a surface due to a fluid above it is defined as:

  F=ρgzA ......... (1)

Here, ρ is the density of the fluid with height z , A is the area of the surface, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The location of the force (η)

is calculated as:

  η=z+IAz ......... (2)

Here, I is the moment of the area at its centroid.
