Find the total pressure on a circular plate of diameter 3 m immersed in a fluid of specific gravity 0.75 at a depth of 5 m from the surface on a planet having acceleration dueto gravity 7 m/s2.

Find the total pressure on a circular plate of diameter 3 m immersed in a fluid of specific gravity 0.75 at a depth of 5 m from the surface on a planet having acceleration dueto gravity 7 m/s2. Correct Answer 18.5 N/cm2

Total pressure, F=w*a*y =7*750*π*1.5*1.5*5 =18.5 N/cm2.
