Fluid Statics

Consider extracting a small triangular wedge with defined edge dimensions from a fluid mass at an arbitrary location. The only forces acting on the wedge ...

Consider a small rectangular fluid element with the lengths of the edges assumed to be taken from any arbitrary location within the fluid mass of ...

Consider a small fluid element at rest. The fluid acceleration is zero, and the general equation of motion simplifies accordingly. Under these conditions, ...

Fluid pressure is measured using liquid columns in tubes, either vertically or at an inclination, termed manometers. The height of the liquid column ...

Consider plane surfaces submerged in a fluid with a specific weight. Forces are developed on the surfaces because of the fluid. The resultant of the ...

Consider a swimming pool with a fluid of a known specific weight having a curved surface at the bottom. If the volume around the curved surface is ...

When a stationary body is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, the fluid exerts a force on the body, called the buoyant force. This force acts through ...

Consider a wooden block with dimensions 1.25 meters wide, 2 meters deep, and 4 meters long floating in water held in a rectangular container. The specific ...
