c) A reservoir of water is connected to a 12 inch diameter pipe 50 feet long and capped at the end. The water surface elevation of the reservoir is 82.5 feet, and the capped end of the pipe is at elevation 38.0 feet. Find the pressure in psf at the capped end of the pipe. (Hint: The water is not flowing so the only pressure that builds up is due to the weight of the other water in the system.)

Question
c) A reservoir of water is connected to a 12 inch diameter pipe 50 feet long and capped at the end. The water surface
elevation of the reservoir is 82.5 feet, and the capped end of the pipe is at elevation 38.0 feet. Find the pressure in psf
at the capped end of the pipe. (Hint: The water is not flowing so the only pressure that builds up is due to the weight of
the other water in the system.)
d) In the swimming pool shown below determine the resultant hydrostatic force and locate the center of pressure on
surface AB. Width = 10.0 ft.
e) In the swimming pool shown below determine the resultant hydrostatic force and locate the center of pressure on
surface BC. Width = 10.0 ft.
Optional Bonus Question
f) In the swimming pool shown below determine the resultant hydrostatic force and locate the center of pressure on
surface CD. Width = 10.0 ft.
