Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A submerged rectangular gate has dimensions of 3 meters by 2 meters. If the top of the gate is 1 meter under water, calculate the total force acting on it due to hydrostatic pressure.
💡 Hint: Start by calculating the pressure at the gate's centroid.
Question 2
Determine the center of pressure for a vertical wall submerged in two different liquids: water (ρ=1000kg/m³) and oil (ρ=800kg/m³). How do pressures at different depths influence the center of pressure?
💡 Hint: Focus on how pressure distributions affect the location of the center of pressure.
