Answer to Question #130096 in Mechanics | Relativity for Ariyo Emmanuel

Question

1. Define the resultant hydrostatic force acting on a submerged surface,
and the center of pressure.
2. You may have noticed that dams are much thicker at the bottom.
Explain why dams are built in this way.
3. Consider a submerged curved surface. Explain how you would
determine the horizontal component of the hydrostatic force acting on
this surface.
4. Consider a submerged curved surface. Explain how you would
determine the vertical component of the hydrostatic force acting on this
surface.
5. Consider a circular surface subjected to hydrostatic forces by a constant
density liquid. If the magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical
components of the resultant hydrostatic force are determined, explain
how you would find the line of action of this force?
