Question

Calcular la presión hidrostática de una presa de 40 m de profundidad ¿Cuál es la fuerza que se ejerce en una compuerta de acero que se encuentra a tal profundidad y tiene 0.8 m2 de área​

Answer 1

Answer:

The pressure varies linearly with depth if the fluid is incompressible. For a horizontal surface, such as the bottom of a liquid-filled tank Fig. 1, [2], the magnitude of the resultant force is simply FR = pA where p is the uniform pressure on the bottom and A is the area of the bottom.
