What is the fluid force on the window? (Density of water sea water is 64. where Fd drag force (N) cd drag coefficient density of fluid (1.2 kg/m3 for air at NTP) v flow velocity (m/s) A characteristic frontal area of the body (m2) The drag coefficient is a function of several parameters like shape of the body, Reynolds Number for the flow, Froude number, Mach Number and Roughness of the Surface.

What is the fluid force on the gate when the top of the gate is 4 meters below the surface of the water? 4 m 8 m 5 m 6 mĪ circular observation window on a marine science ship has a radius of 1 foot, and the center of the window is 8 feet below water level. The tank is completely full of water.Ī vertical gate in a dam has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid 8 meters across the top and 6 meters across the bottom, with a height of 5 meters, as shown below. Determine the hydrostatic force against the. 507 Find the fluid force exerted on the bottom of the container.įind the fluid force on a rectangular metal sheet measuring 2 feet by 3 feet that is submerged in 5 feet of water.įind the fluid force on the vertical side of a rectangular tank with dimensions 5 ft. The end of a tank containing water is vertical and has the shape of the bottom of a half circle of radius 10 m.
