Document Summary
Panel abc is the slanted side of a water tank and is an isosceles triangle with vertex at a and base bc = 2 m. find the water force on the panel and it"s line of action. F_h can be computed by projecting the curved surface onto a vertical plate normal to the component. Vertical: f_v can be calculated by summing the weights of the entire uid column. A dam is a quarter-circle 50 m wide (into the page) against the dam and the point cp where the resultant force strikes the dam. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the hydrostatic force. F_v acts through the centroid of water above the dam centroid for a quarter circle: Buoyancy: net vertical force on an immersed or oating body (cid:12254) (cid:12254) (cid:12254) Law #1: a body immersed in a uid experiences a vertical buoyancy force equal to the weight of the uid it displaces.
