CHAPTER 5
Forces on Submerged Curved Areas
‘The submerged, curved surface AB in Fig. 5-1a is one-quarter of a circle of radius 4 ft. The tank’s length
(stance perpendicular to the plane of the figure) is 6 ft. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the
total resultant force acting on the curved surface and their locations.
I The horizontal component of the total resultant force acting on the curved surface is equal to the total
resultant force, Fy, acting on the vertical projection of curved surface AB (i.e., BF in Fig. 5-1b). This projection
is a rectangle 6 ft long and 4 ft high. For the portion of F, resulting from horizontal pressure of BHEF in Fig.
‘5-1b, p: = (8)(62.4) = 499 Ib/ft*, A = (6)(4) = 24 ft”, F; = (499)(24) = 11 980 1b. For the portion of F, resulting
from horizontal pressure of HGE in Fig. 5-1b, p2= (62.4)[(0 + 4)/2] = 125 Ib/ft?, F; = (125)(24) = 3000 Ib;
Fy = F, + F= 11 980 + 3000 = 14 980 Ib. The vertical component of the total resultant force acting on the curved
surface is equal to the weight of the volume of water vertically above curved surface AB. This volume consists
of a rectangular area (AFCD in Fig. S-1c) 4 ft by 8 ft and a quarter-circular area (A BF in Fig. 5-Ic) of radius
4 ft, both areas being 6 ft long. This volume (V) is V = [(4)(8) + (2t)(4)*/4](6) = 267.4 ft, F = weight of water
in V = (267.4)(62.4) = 16 650 Ib. The location of the horizontal component (F,) is along a (horizontal)
through the center of pressure for the vertical projection (j.e., the center of gravity of EFBG in Fig. 5-1b). This
can be determined by equating the sum of the moments of F, and F, about point C to the moment of Fy about
the same point. (11 980)(8 + $) + (3000)[8 + (3)(4)] = 14 980h.,, ny = 10.13 ft. (This is the depth from the water
surface to the location of the horizontal component. Stated another way, the horizontal component acts at a
distance of 12 - 10.13, or 1.87 ft above point B in Fig. 5-1b.) The location of the vertical component (Fy) is

along a (vertical) line through the center of gravity of the liquid volume vertically above surface AB (i.e., the
center of gravity of ABCD in Fig. 5-Ic). This can be determined by referring to Fig. 5-Ic and equating the sum
of the moments of the rectangular area (AFCD in Fig. 5-1c) and of the quarter-circular area (ABF in Fig. 5-1c)
about a vertical line through point B to the moment of the total area about the same line. (x)[(8)(4) +
()(4)7/4] = [(8)(4)]() + (()(4)7/4]1(4)(4)/Bx)], x = 1.91 ft. (This is the distance from point B to the line of
action of the vertical component.)
Solve Prob. 5.1 for the same given conditions except that water is on the other side of curved surface AB, as
shown in Fig. 5-2.
I If necessary, refer to the solution of Prob. 5.1 for a more detailed explanation of the general procedure for
solving this type of problem. p = Pag (7){(hs + h)/2] = (62.4)[(8-+ 12)/2] = 624 Ib/ft?, A= (6)(4) = 24 ft,
Fir= pA = (624)(24) = 14 980 Ib. The vertical component (F,) is equal to the weight of the imaginary volume of
water vertically above surface AB. Hence, Fy = {(4)(8) + (2)(4)"/4](6)(62.4) = 16 690 Ib. The location of the
horizontal component is 10.13 ft below the water surface (same as in Prob. 5.1 except that Fy acts toward the
left). The location of the vertical component is 1.91 ft from point B (same as in Prob. 5.1 except that Fy acts
upward).
