Question

Could someone walk me through on what to do, totally new topic: Hydrostatic Force

Answer 1

An aquarium 5 ft long, 2 ft wide and 3 ft deep is full of water. Find (a.) the hydrostatic pressure on the bottom of the aquarium, (b.) the hydrostatic force on the bottom, and (c.) the hydrostatic force on one end of the aquarium.

Answer 2

what information do you have on hydro static force?

Answer 3

Not much actually

Answer 4

i believe is just asking for the force due to the water pressure thats about it

Answer 5

You have to use the Sammi Method. You take 561.1 ounces and you mulyiply it by 22222828 and then you divide it by 10 liters. Works like a charm ;)

Answer 6

pressure = force/surface area

Answer 7

b) is simply the weight that is seen by the bottom

Answer 8

c) will be a function with respect to the depth, so the lower you go the more force the side of the glass will be experiencing

Answer 9

we can sum of all the force with respect to depth to see the total force on that glass

Answer 10

Pfft, I knew that e-e I just like the Sammi Method better.
