FLUID PRESSURE AND FORCES
WORKSHEET 2
PART 1: Essay
Instructions:
1. Answer the following questions.

 Discuss the difference of hydrostatic forces acting on plane and curve surfaces.
 Discuss what is a hydrostatic uplift.
 Someone claims that the absolute pressure in a liquid of constant density doubles when
the depth is doubled. Do you agree? Explain.
 What is the difference between gage pressure and absolute pressure?
 A tiny steel cube is suspended in water by a string. If the lengths of the sides of the cube
are very small, how would you compare the magnitudes of the pressures on the top,
bottom, and side surfaces of the cube?

PART 2: Problem Solving


Instructions:
1. Solve the following problems.
2. Show complete solution.
3. Show sketches and diagrams if necessary.
