Problem 1
The side of a tank presents a protrusion having the shape of a half sphere
having radius R=0.25m and centre located at point C (see figure below). The
tank is filled with air and water (specific weight y = 9806 N/m3 ) whose free
surface is at the same elevation as C. The gage pressure of the air inside the
tank is n= 32 Kpa. Determine:
Air
a) the hydrostatic force (magnitude and line of action) that the air exerts on
the quarter of the sphere.
Water
R
b) The total hydrostatic force (magnitude and line of action) that both fluids
exert on the half sphere.
(the volume of a sphere of radius R can be computed as tR³).
