Question 1
What is the formula for hydrostatic pressure?
- P = P_{atm} + ho g h
- P = ho g h
- P = P_{atm} - ho g h
💡 Hint: Think about the components that contribute to total pressure.
Question 2
True or False: The center of pressure is always located above the centroid of a submerged surface.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider the distribution of pressure on the surface.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A large cylindrical tank is filled with water 10 meters deep. Calculate the hydrostatic pressure at a point 8 meters below the surface and the total force acting on the curved surface of the cylinder.
- Assume diameter is 4 meters.
💡 Hint: Remember to find the area of the curved surface and include atmospheric pressure in your calculations.
Question 2
A vertical gate measuring 3m x 2m is submerged in water at a depth of 6 meters. Determine the center of pressure and the total hydrostatic force on the gate.
- What is the formula used and how do we relate the center of pressure to its centroid?
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between depth, area, and pressure distribution.
