FM7 Pressure Distribution2

The document discusses hydrostatic forces on plane and curved surfaces, emphasizing that the hydrostatic pressure force is constant regardless of shape and is determined by the pressure at the centroid times the area. It also covers the moment of inertia, which measures resistance to rotational changes, and its application in predicting bending resistance in beams. Additionally, it includes examples for calculating forces on structures due to fluid pressure.

Hydrostatic forces on plane surface2

The hydrostatic pressure force on a plane surface is equal,


regardless of its shape, to the pressure at the centroid times the
plate area.
Moment of Inertia

is a measure of an object's resistance to


changes to its rotation

For 3D continuous solid body


Area moment of inertia

is a property of a cross section that can be used to predict


the resistance of beams to bending and deflection, around
an axis that lies in the cross-sectional plane.

Hydrostatic forces on curved surfaces1

The horizontal component of force on a curved surface equals the force on the plane area formed
by the projection of the curved surface onto a vertical plane normal to the component.

The vertical component of pressure force on a curved surface equals in magnitude and direction
the weight of the entire column of fluid, both liquid and atmosphere, above the curved surface.
