Lecture - 02 - Fluid Statics Byouyancy Problems

The document contains two multi-sentence engineering problems. The first problem involves calculating the resultant force on a 4m semicircular plate acting as a gate due to water pressure, and finding the reaction forces at its hinge and support. The second problem involves estimating the horizontal, vertical, and total forces on a 3m wide lateral segment of a stratified reservoir containing liquids of different densities, with a curved bottom section.

The semicircular plate in Figure is 4 m long and acts as a gate in a


channel. Determine the resultant force the water pressure exerts on the
plate, and then find the components of reaction at the hinge (pin) B and
at the smooth support A. Neglect the weight of the plate.

The top 1 m of the stratified reservoir shown in Figure contains a liquid of
specific weight 9.50 kN/m3, and the bottom 2mof the reservoir contains a
liquid of specific weight 9.80 kN/m3. The 3 m wide lateral segment of the
reservoir has a planar surface down to 2 m below the liquid surface and the
bottom 1 m has a radius of curvature equal to 1 m. Estimate the horizontal,
vertical, and total force on the lateral segment.
