HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
Pressure at any point in a fluid = ρ x g x h [KN/m2]
g = 9.81 [metre/second2]
HYDROSTATIC LOAD
(1) Load acting on an immersed plate = Pressure x Area
= (ρ x g x h) x A [KN]
g = 9.81 [metre/second2]
g = 9.81 [metre/second2]
= I + A(h)2 [metre]
A(h)
where I = I NA [metre4]
= 2nd moment of area of the immersed area about
the neutral axis which is parallel to the liquid surface
CALCULATION OF CENTROID
Centroid of immersed area from liquid surface = Σ (A x y)
