In hydrostatic pressure force experiment. A rectangular plate with dimensions W= 3.1 m wide and 45 cm high is placed in water vertically (along its height) such that 5 cm of its height is above water surface. What is the multiplication of Ycp x W, where Ycp is the center of pressure in meter and W is the plate wide in meter? Select one: a. 0.82667 b. 0.51667 c. 1.44667 d. 1.13667 e. 0.20667

Properties of Fluids

The term fluid represents a type of substance that can easily change its shape under any external pressure/force and can flow. Fluids can acquire any shape in which it is stored and can resist normal stresses but cannot resist shear stress in rest condition. Whenever external shear stress is applied to fluids, it starts to flow. The fluids may be liquid or gas. Example- water, air, etc.
