1. A room in the lower level of a cruise ship has a 30-cm-diameter circular window. If the
midpoint of the window is 5 m below the water surface, determine the hydrostatic force
acting on the window, and the pressure center. Take the specific gravity of seawater to be
1.025.

2. A closed cylindrical tank filled with water has a hemispherical dome and is connected to
an inverted piping system as shown in the figure below. The liquid in the top part of the
piping system has a specific gravity of 0.8, and the remaining parts of the system are
filled with water. If the pressure gage reading at A is 60 kPa, determine: (a) the pressure
in pipe B, and (b) the pressure head, in millimeters of mercury, at the top of the dome
(point C).
3. Determine the elevation difference, Δh, between the water levels in the two open tanks
shown in the figure below.

4. Two chambers with the same fluid at their base are separated by a piston whose weight is
25 N, as shown in Fig. P3–47. Calculate the gage pressures in chambers A and B.
5. A long, solid cylinder of radius 2 ft hinged at point A is used as an automatic gate, as
shown in Fig. P3–61E. When the water level reaches 15 ft, the cylindrical gate opens by
turning about the hinge at point A. Determine (a) the hydrostatic force acting on the
cylinder and its line of action when the gate opens and (b) the weight of the cylinder per
ft length of the cylinder.

6. A 4-m-long quarter-circular gate of radius 3 m and of negligible weight is hinged about


its upper edge A, as shown in Fig. P3–75. The gate controls the flow of water over the
ledge at B, where the gate is pressed by a spring. Determine the minimum spring force
required to keep the gate closed when the water level rises to A at the upper edge of the
gate.
