Hydrostatic forces arise from fluid pressure acting on submerged surfaces. The fundamental principle is that hydrostatic pressure increases linearly with depth according to the equation P equals rho g h, where rho is fluid density, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is depth below the free surface. This pressure variation creates distributed forces on any submerged surface, with greater forces at deeper locations.
When a plane surface is submerged in a fluid, hydrostatic pressure creates a distributed force pattern. The pressure varies linearly with depth, resulting in a triangular or trapezoidal pressure distribution along the surface height. At each point on the surface, pressure acts perpendicular to the surface. The pressure is zero at the free surface and increases linearly to maximum at the deepest point of the submerged surface.
To find the total hydrostatic force on a submerged surface, we integrate the pressure over the entire surface area. This integration simplifies to F equals rho g times h c times A, where h c is the depth of the surface centroid and A is the total surface area. The centroid is the geometric center of the surface, and its depth determines the average pressure acting on the surface. This formula provides a direct method to calculate the magnitude of the total hydrostatic force.
The center of pressure is the point where the resultant hydrostatic force acts on the submerged surface. It is determined using moment equilibrium principles. The center of pressure location is given by y c p equals y c plus I c divided by y c times A, where y c is the centroid location and I c is the second moment of area about the centroid. A key insight is that the center of pressure is always located below the centroid for submerged surfaces, because pressure increases with depth, creating a moment that shifts the resultant force downward.
Hydrostatic forces are the forces exerted by a static fluid on any submerged surface. These forces arise from fluid pressure, which increases linearly with depth according to the hydrostatic pressure equation. The total force equals the pressure at the centroid multiplied by the surface area, and this force always acts perpendicular to the surface.
The hydrostatic pressure in a fluid increases linearly with depth according to the equation p equals rho g h, where rho is fluid density, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is depth below the free surface. This linear pressure distribution means that deeper parts of a submerged surface experience greater pressure forces.
The total hydrostatic force on a submerged surface is calculated using the formula F equals rho g h c A, where rho is fluid density, g is gravitational acceleration, h c is the depth of the surface centroid, and A is the surface area. This force acts perpendicular to the surface and represents the resultant of all pressure forces acting on the surface.
The center of pressure is the point where the resultant hydrostatic force effectively acts. Unlike the geometric centroid, the center of pressure accounts for the non-uniform pressure distribution. It is calculated using the formula y cp equals y c plus I c over y c A, where I c is the second moment of area about the centroid. The center of pressure is always located below the centroid for submerged surfaces.
When analyzing inclined plane surfaces, the same hydrostatic principles apply but require geometric adjustments. The key difference is that depth varies along the inclined surface length. We establish a coordinate system where s represents distance along the inclined surface and theta is the angle of inclination. The depth at any point becomes h equals s sine theta plus h zero, where h zero is the depth at the top of the surface. The centroid depth becomes h c equals s c sine theta plus h zero, and the center of pressure location is modified accordingly. The pressure distribution still increases linearly with depth, but now acts perpendicular to the inclined surface.
