Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
In a pipe system, calculate the force acting on a gate where h1 = 12m, h2 = 4m, with a velocity of 1.2m/s. Assume ρ = 1000 kg/m³.
💡 Hint: Consider how pressure varies with height.
A cylindrical tank has water flowing in at a rate of 20 liters/min. If the average height of water is 3m, find the force acting on the tank's base.
💡 Hint: Think how to relate volume flow rate to height and pressure.
