For the position shown, determine (a) the hydrostatic force on the gate (per meter of width into the paper); and (b) its line of action. Does the force pass through point O?

Reference to a good handbook will give you the geometric properties of a circular segment, and you may compute that the segment area is 3.261 m 2 and its centroid is 5.5196 m from point O, or 0.3235 m from vertical line AC, as shown in the figure.

This force passes, as expected, right through point O. 2.89 The tank in the figure contains benzene and is pressurized to 200 kPa (gage) in the air gap. Determine the vertical hydrostatic force on circular-arc section AB and its line of action. Solution: Assume unit depth into the paper. The vertical force is the weight of benzene plus the force due to the air pressure: Fig. P2.89 2 (0.6) (1.0)(881)(9.81) (200,000)(0.6)(1.0) . 4 V FAns ? =+= N 122400 m Most of this (120,000 N/m) is due to the air pressure, whose line of action is in the middle of the horizontal line through B. The vertical benzene force is 2400 N/m and has a line of action (see Fig. 2.13 of the text) at 4R/(3?) = 25.5 cm to the right or A. The moment of these two forces about A must equal to moment of the combined (122,400 N/m) force times a distance X to the right of A: += X = 29.9 cm(120000)(30 cm) (2400)(25.5 cm) 122400( ), .X solve for Ans The vertical force is 122400 N/m (down), acting at 29.9 cm to the right of A. 2.90 A 1-ft-diameter hole in the bottom of the tank in Fig. P2.90 is closed by a 45° conical plug. Neglecting plug weight, compute the force F required to keep the plug in the hole. Solution: The part of the cone that is inside the water is 0.5 ft in radius and h = 0.5/tan(22.5°) = 1.207 ft high.

Assuming rigid-body motion, estimate the maximum water depth to avoid spilling. Which is the best way to align the tank?

If the tank accelerates to the right at 5 m/s/s, at what angle will the balloon lean? Will it lean to the left or to the right? Solution: The acceleration sets up pressure isobars which slant down and to the right, in both the water and in the helium. This means there will be a buoyancy force on the balloon up and to the right, as shown at right. It must be balanced by a string tension down and to the left.

The focus of the mirror is to be 4 m from the mirror, measured along the centerline. What is the proper mirror rotation rate, in rev/min? Solution: We have to review our math book, or Mark?s Manual, to recall that the focus F of a parabola is the point for which all points on the parabola are equidistant from both the focus and a so-called ?directrix? line (which is one focal length below the mirror). For the focal length h and the z-r axes shown in the figure, the equation of the parabola is given by r 2 = 4hz, with h = 4 m for our example. Meanwhile the equation of the free-surface of the liquid is given by z = r 2 ? 2 /(2g).

(1) Since p(z) increases with z at a greater than linear rate, the center of pressure will always be a little lower than predicted by linear theory (Eq. 2.44). Integrate Eq.

In the limit of small depth change relative to the ?softness? of the liquid, 2 ha/g,g61 this reduces to the linear formula F = ? o gh 2 b/2 by expanding the exponential into the first three terms of its series. For ?hard? liquids, the difference in the two formulas is negligible. For example, for water (a ? 1490 m/s) with h = 10 m and b = 1 m, the linear formula predicts F = 489500 N while the exponential formula predicts F = 489507 N.
