PRACTICE PROBLEMS SET 4 Total Hydrostatic Force On Curved Surface

This document contains practice problems related to calculating total hydrostatic force on curved surfaces. It includes three specific problems involving a submerged sector gate, a quarter-circle curved surface, and a cylinder plugged in a tank. Each problem requires determining the amount and location of horizontal and vertical components of the resultant force due to water pressure.

PRACTICE PROBLEMS SET 4

TOTAL HYDROSTATIC FORCE ON CURVED SURFACES

1. The submerged sector gate AB shown in figure is one sixth of a circle of radius 6m. The length of
the gate is 10 m. Determine the amount and location of the horizontal and vertical components
of the total resultant force acting on the gate.

2. The curved surface AB shown in figure is a quarter of a circle of radius 5ft. Determine, for an 8-ft
length perpendicular to the paper, the amount and location of the horizontal and vertical
components of the total resultant force acting on surface AB.

3. In the figure below, an 8-ft diameter cylinder plugs a rectangular hole in a tank that is 3 ft long.
With what force is the cylinder pressed against the bottom of the tank due to the 9-ft depth of
water?
