is equal to the weight of a prismatic column of thefluid whose base is the projection of the surface on a plane per-pendicular to the given direction, and height the depth of thecenter of gravity of the surface below the surface of the fluid. 388. Prop. To find the resultant pressure of a fluid on… … pressures on the elements of thesurface will not be parallel. Butwe may resolve the normal press-ure on each element into verticaland horizontal components, andeach horizontal component intotwo others parallel to two rectan-gular axes. We shall then haveto find the resultants of three setsof…
