Hydrostatic Force On Submerged Surfaces: Start

The document discusses hydrostatic force on submerged surfaces. It explains that when designing hydraulic structures that retain liquid, it is important to calculate the total force from the liquid on the structure's surface, including the direction and line of action. The hydrostatic force on a fully submerged plane surface must act normal to the surface. The pressure force on an elemental area of the surface is equal to the pressure multiplied by the elemental area.
