Fluid Statics Calculation of Gage Pressure Using
Variable Unit Weight
PROBLEM:
The unit weight of a liquid is variable and is given by the
relation gamma = 10 + 0.5h where y is in kN/m³ and h is
the depth of the liquid from the free surface in meters.
Determine the gage pressure in kPa at a depth of 5 m.

Fluid Statics Hydrostatic Thrust Analysis on a
Parabolic Dam Profile
PROBLEM:
A 375 mm high open cylinder, 150 mm in diameter, is
filled with water and rotated about its vertical axis at an
angular speed of 33.5 rad/s. Determine (i) the depth of
water in the cylinder when it is brought to rest and (ii)
the volume of water that remains in the cylinder if the
speed is doubled (see Figure 2.32).

Fluid Statics Establishing the Upper Limit for
h/d Ratio for a Floating Wooden
Cylinder in Oil
PROBLEM:
A homogeneous wooden cylinder of circular section (of
relative density 0.7) is required to float in oil of density
900 kg/m3. If d and h are the diameter and height of the
cylinder, respectively, establish the upper limiting value
of the ratio h/d for the cylinder to float with its axis
vertical.
