1 atm = 14.7 psi = 101.3 kPa
Σpressures, P = γh
Sample Problems:
1. One slug is equivalent to how many
kg?
𝑃 = √𝑃ℎ 2 + 𝑃𝑣 2
𝑷𝒉 - horizontal component; total
hydrostatic pressure on plane area “A”
which is the projection of the curved
surface on the vertical
Sample Problems: ̅A (projected area)
𝑷𝒉 = 𝜸𝒉
1. A triangular gate with a horizontal
base 1.2 m long and an altitude of 1.8 m
is inclined 45° from the vertical with
the vertex pointing upward. The hinged
horizontal base of the gate is 2.7 m
below the water surface.
