The resultant hydrostatic force acts through a point which is known as Correct Answer Centre of pressure

Explanation:

  • Total pressure is defined as the force exerted by a static fluid on a surface either on curved when the fluid comes in contact with the surface.
  • Centre of pressure is defined as the point of application of the total pressure on the surface.
  • The point of action of total hydrostatic force on the submerged surface is called the Centre of Pressure.

Additional Information

Centre of Buoyancy coincides with the centroid of the volume of the fluid displaced or the centre of the volume of the body submerged in fluid.

A rigid body is rotating about an axis. One force F1 acts on the body such that its vector passes through the axis of rotation. Another force F2 acts on it such that it is perpendicular to the axis of rotation and at a point 5cm from the axis. This force F2 is perpendicular to the radius vector at its point of application. Find the net torque on the body. Let F1 = 10N & F2= 5N.
