The net horizontal pressure force on an object submerged in

The net horizontal pressure force on an object submerged in a fluid acts in what direction:

a. On the object, in the same direction as gravity

b. On the object, in the opposite direction as gravity

c. Perpendicular to the surface of the object

d. The net horizontal pressure force is zero

Solution

THE NET HORIZONTAL PRESSURE FORCE ON AN OBJECT SUBMERGED IN A FLUID ACTS IN

OPTION C PERPENDICULAR TO THE SURFACE OF THE OBJECT BECAUSE IT IS INDEPENDENT ON THE GRAVITY BECAUSE OF HYDROSTATIC FORCE
