Problem 62P
Consider a circular surface subjected to hydrostatic forces by a constant density liquid. If the magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the resultant hydrostatic force are determined, explain how you would find the line of action of this force.
ANSWER:
Step 1:
Consider a circular surface subjected to hydrostatic forces by a constant density liquid.
The magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the resultant hydrostatic force are given.
The horizontal component of the hydrostatic force = FH
The vertical component of the hydrostatic force = FV
