Question 1

What is the formula to calculate hydrostatic pressure as a function of depth?

  • p = ρgh
  • p = hg/ρ
  • p = A/F

💡 Hint: Think about how pressure changes as you go deeper underwater.

Question 2

Is the resultant force always directed vertically upwards?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how pressure acts at a point.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A trapezoidal plate is submerged at an angle in water. The top base is 1m long, the bottom base is 2m long with a height of 1m. Calculate the total resultant force acting on one face if the water depth is 3 meters.

💡 Hint: Break down into differential elements and integrate the pressure.

Question 2

A submerged object has its centroid located 2 meters below the water surface. If it displaces 1500 kg of water, calculate the buoyant force acting on the object.

💡 Hint: Remember that density of water is 1000 kg/m³.
