Question

Hydrostatic Force- Inclined Surface 3. The round viewing window shown (D=0.8 m) is situated in a large tank of seawater (SG 1.03). If h= 2m, and the window is angled at 60° from the horizontal, find the hydrostatic force acting on the window, and locate the corresponding center of pressure (CP) Window Sea water 60

Answer 1

hydrostatic force = 11.168 KN

center of pressure = 2.2136 m
