The force exerted by a static fluid on a surface either plane or curved, when the fluid comes in the contact with surface is called:
Water (γ = 9810 N/m3) is held back by a tainter gate as shown in the profile, below. The vertical distance from the water surface to the spillway crest, hc, is 3 meters. If the gate is 4 meters wide (into the page), what is the horizontal force on the gate?
Two pipe lines at a different pressures, pA and pB, each carrying the same liquid of specific gravity of S1 are connected to a U tube with a liquid of specific gravity of S2 resulting in the level differences h1, h2 and h3 as shown in the figure. The difference in pressure head between points A and B in terms of head of water is
A tank of water has a gate in its vertical wall. The gate is 4 m high and 3 m wide. The top edge of the gate is 2 m below the surface of water. What is the hydrostatic force on the gate. Take specific weight of water as 10 kN/m3.
What is the total pressure on a plate surface inclined at an angle θ with the horizontal ?
At what depth below the free surface of oil having a density of 784 kg/m3 will the pressure be very nearly equal to 1 bar?
In which of the following scenarios is the centre of pressure of a submerged body equal to the distance of center of gravity of the body from free space?
Which of the following pressure units represents the least pressure?
Which one of the following phenomena in a pipe flow is termed as water hammer?
The resultant hydrostatic force acts through a point which is known as
A water tank whose base measures 2 m × 2 m is 4 m high. It is filled with water up to three meters, the total effect of pressure on its bottom will be -
What happens when a fluid is at rest?
What will be the hydrostatic pressure exerted by water moving with constant velocity at a depth of 10 m from the surface? Given ρ =1000 kg/m3 
What will be the height of oil head (in the tube) equal to 4 kg/cm2 pressure while the specific density of oil is 0.8?
Pressure due to weight of a liquid is independent of which of the following quantities?
