Description
determination of forces on surfaces under hydrostatic pressure
The weight of fluids at rest causes a pressure that is known as hydrostatic pressure or gravitational pressure. This pressure acts on any area that is in communication with the fluid, exerting a force that is proportional to the size of the area.
The effect of hydrostatic pressure is highly important in many fields of engineering: in shipbuilding, in hydraulic engineering when designing locks and weirs,in sanitation and building services.
Learning objectives/experiments
pressure distribution along an effective area in a liquid at rest
lateral force of the hydrostatic pressure
determination of the centre of pressure and centre of area
determination of the resulting compressive force
