Just asume any missing values.
A plane is fitted with pontoons for operation on lakes. As it taxies out for take-off, the plane itself weighs 10670 Newtons (2849lbs), it has 40 gallons of gasoline in its tanks, and the pilot and passenger together weigh 1513 Newtons (340 lbs). One gallon of gasoline weighs 25 Newtons (5.67lbs). What is buoyant force on the plane when it floats in a body of water?
Take the mass density of water to be 1000 kg/m3 and the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 m/s2

If the upper base of the vertical rectangular plate given in the example problem is submerged by 12ft below the water surface, determine the location of the hydrostatic force and center of pressure.

- what type of pressure is generated from the formula of hydrostatic pressure? explain.arrow_forwardA square plate is submerged in water as shown below. Set up an integral to find thehydrostatic force against one side of the plate. (Use the fact that the weight density ofwater is 62.5 lb/ft3, and that pressure,P=δd) DO NOT EVALUATE THE INTEGRAL.arrow_forwardA force, P, is applied to a piston with a mass of 15 kg and a diameter of 43 cm that rests on top of a cylinder containing water as shown. (The piston is free to move in the cylinder, but is sealed so no water can escape.) An open U-tube manometer is connected to the cylinder as shown. Determine the applied force, P in kN, if h1 = 68 mm and h = 100 mm. You can use the following data: the specific weight of water is 9.81 kN/m³ and the specific gravity of mercury is 13.546.

However, when the bottle is open, water comes out of the hole. Other information would be - Atmospheric pressure is 1 atm (101325 Pa) - Assume bottle is 20 cm and the hole is on the 10 cm above the bottom of the bottle (use it as reference level) Define the pressure(s) acting at the hole when the bottle is open and calculate total pressure.
