ill be of the same form. Hence thewhole normal pressure P will be P=2gpxk=gpExk. Let x be the depth of the center of gravity of the immersedsurface below the surface of the fluid, and A its area. Then(29), Ax=2x k; ... ~P=gpAxccx. (138) Cor. Since gpAx is the weight of a prism of the fluid… … is the surface pressed, and height the depth of its center ofgravity below the fluid surface, or, if the fluid be water,P=62.5 A^ lbs. (139) 387. Prop. To find the pressure on any immersed surface orside of a vessel in a given direction. pj j3 Let P be the normal pressure on the inclined side,…
