Calculate the fluid force on one side of a 7 ft by 7 ft square plate if the plate is at the bottom of a pool filled with a fluid having a weight density of 62.4 lb/ft^3 to depth of 8 ft.
a) laying flat on its 7 ft by 7 ft side.
Answer = [] LB of Force
a) laying flat on its 7 ft by 7 ft side.
Answer = [] LB of Force
Solution
g=32.2 ft/sec^2 P0 =2116.8 Lbs./Sq.Ft. Pressure at depth of 8 ft =Po+h*p*g = 2116.8 + 8*62.4*32.2 =18191.04Lbs./Sq.Ft. Force = P*A =18191.04*7^2=891360.96 Lbs
