Question
Chapter 11, Problem 1P
To determine
State the resultant hydrostatic force acting on the submerged surface. Also, define the center of pressure.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Resultant hydrostatic force:
The resultant of the pressure forces acting on the surface is called as the resultant hydrostatic force acting on the submerged surface. The resultant hydrostatic force on the submerged surface needs the computation of direction, magnitude, and line of action of the force.
Center of pressure:
Center of pressure is referred to as the point of application of the resultant hydrostatic force. It is also stated as the intersection point between the line of action of the resultant hydrostatic force and the surface. It is caused by the variation of the hydrostatic pressure.
