3.4 Hydrostatic Forces on Plane Surfaces
For a static fluid, the shear stress is zero and the only stress is the normal stress, i.e., pressure p. Recall that p is a scalar, which when in contact with a solid surface exerts a normal force towards the surface.

Fp pndA
For a plane surface n = constant such that we can separately consider the magnitude and line of action of Fp.
A
Fp F pdA
Line of action is towards and normal to A through the center of pressure (xcp, ycp).
Professor Fred Stern Fall 2005 (^17)
p = constant
Unless otherwise stated, throughout the chapter assume patm acts at liquid surface. Also, we will use gage pressure so that p = 0 at the liquid surface.
Horizontal Surfaces
F= (^) ∫ pdA=pA
Line of action is through centroid of A,
horizontal surface with area A
Professor Fred Stern Fall 2005 (^19)
Center of Pressure
Center of pressure is in general below centroid since pressure increases with depth. Center of pressure is determined by equating the moments of the resultant and distributed forces about any arbitrary axis.

Therefore, the horizontal components can be determined by some methods developed for submerged plane surfaces.
The horizontal component of force acting on a curved surface is equal to the force acting on a vertical projection of that surface including both magnitude and line of action.

F (^) B = F (^) v2 – F (^) v

F (^) B = ρgV V = submerged volume
Line of action is through centroid of V = center of buoyancy
Net Horizontal forces are zero since F (^) BAD = F (^) BCD
Professor Fred Stern Fall 2005 (^28)
Example (apparent weight)
King Hero ordered a new crown to be made from pure gold. When he received the crown he suspected that other metals had been used in its construction. Archimedes discovered that the crown required a force of 4.7# to suspend it when immersed in water, and that it displaced 18.9 in^3 of water. He concluded that the crown was not pure gold. Do you agree?
∑Fvert = 0 = Wa + Fb – W = 0 ⇒ Wa = W – Fb = (γc - γw )V W=γcV, Fb = γw V
or γc = V

⇒ ρc = 15.3 slugs/ft^3
∼ ρsteel and since gold is heavier than steel the crown can not be pure gold

3.7 Stability of Immersed and Floating Bodies
Here we’ll consider transverse stability. In actual applications both transverse and longitudinal stability are important.
Immersed Bodies
Static equilibrium requires: (^) ∑ Fv = 0 and ∑M= 0
∑M = 0 requires that the centers of gravity and buoyancy coincide, i.e., C = G and body is neutrally stable
If C is above G, then the body is stable (righting moment when heeled)
If G is above C, then the body is unstable (heeling moment when heeled)
Professor Fred Stern Fall 2005 (^31)
Floating Bodies
α = small heel angle
x = CC′ = lateral displacement of C C = center of buoyancy i.e., centroid of displaced volume V
Solve for GM: find x using (1) basic definition for centroid of V; and (2) trigonometry Fig. 3.
(1) Basic definition of centroid of volume V
xV = (^) ∫ xdV=∑ xi ∆Vi moment about centerplane
xV = moment V before heel – moment of VAOB
