TRAINING OBJECTIVES
- Measurement and verification of the momentum created by the pressing force acting on a submerged flat vertical surface.
It is necessary to determine both the magnitude of the force and its pressure center, according to :
– a complete submerged surface.
– a partially submerged surface.
- Obtaining and verifying the momentum created by the pressure force acting on a submerged curved surface.
It is necessary to determine both the magnitude of the force and its pressure center, according to :
– a semicircular sector completely submerged.
– a semicircular sector partially submerged, fluid level above the center of gravity.
– a semicircular sector partially submerged, fluid level below the center of gravity.
