A submerged horizontal flat plate is suspended in water by a string attached at the centroid of its upper surface. Now the plate is rotated 45° about an axis that passes through its centroid. Discuss the change in the hydrostatic force acting on the top surface of this plate as a result of this rotation. Assume the plate remains submerged at all times.
The conical-spherical dumbbell (made from a cone
and a hemisphere) shown in the figure is floating in a
liquid of specific gravity equal to 1.65 such that
dumbbell's bottom hemisphere is submerged in the
liquid. The bottom of the circular cone and the
hemisphere have the same radius equal to R= 18 cm.

The water is at 20oC. The blade shown in the photograph is 4.3 cm long and 2.2 cm wide. For simplicity, the center cut-out area of the razor blade has been taped so that only the outer edges of the blade contribute to surface tension effects. Because the razor blade has sharp corners, the contact angle is not relevant. Rather, the limiting case is when the water contacts the blade vertically as sketched (effective contact angle along the edge of the blade is 180°). (a) Considering surface tension alone, estimate (in grams) how much total mass (razor blade + weights placed on top of it) can be supported. (b) Refine your analysis by considering that the razor blade pushes the water down, and thus hydrostatic pressure effects are also present. Hint: You will also…arrow_forward
