Question 1

A vertical triangular area with vertex downward and altitude 'h' has its base lying on the free surface of a liquid. The centre of pressure below the free surface is at a distance of

Question 2

As the depth of immersion of a vertical plane surface increases, the location of centre of pressure

Question 3

The cylinder and tube as shown in figure contains oil of specific gravity 0.85. For a gauge reading of 2.5 kg (f)/cm2, the total weight (in kN) of the piston and the slab placed on it is

Question 4

A triangular gate with a base width of 2 m and a height of 1.5 m lies in a vertical plane. The top vertex of the gate is 1.5 m below the surface of a tank which contains oil of specific gravity 0.8. Considering the density of water and acceleration due to gravity to be 1000 kg/m3 and 9.81 m/s2, respectively, the hydrostatic force (in kN) exerted by the oil on the gate is __________.

Question 5

A sector gate is provided on a spillway as shown in the figure. Assuming the resultant force per meter length (expressed in kN/m) on the gate will be _______ .

Question 6

A three-dimensional gate having cross-section of a quarter cylinder is pivoted at the bottom O and is in static equilibrium when subjected to differential fluids of specific weight and as shown in figure below. Assuming the gate is weightless, ratio of and is ----------.
