A cylindrical tank has a height of 10 meters and radius of 2 meters. If the fluid inside has a density of 1000 kg/m³, calculate the gauge pressure at the bottom and the force acting on the bottom surface.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for pressure and the formula for area of a circle.
A flow system has varying velocities across its cross-section. How do you calculate the total momentum using correction factors? Assume areas and average velocities for each section.
💡 Hint: Consider the defined regions and apply the correction factors appropriately.
