Introduction • In Fluid Mechanics hydrostatics considers
fluids at rest: – typically fluid pressure on stationary bodies and
surfaces, pressure measurements, buoyancy and flotation, and fluid masses under rigid body motion, to name a few.
– We will consider a simple element of stationary fluid and examine the how the pressure, which is a scalar field, varies throughout the element.
– A scalar field unlike a vector field, only has a magnitude associated with it at any point, and not direction. Pressure at any point is the same in all directions.

Pressure Distribution • Pressure Gradient
– If we examine the rate of change of pressure through the element in any direction we find (using a Taylor series approximation):
– Similiarly, we find:

Standard Atmosphere • The pressure in the
atmosphere varies with elevation.

Manometers • Variation of pressure within a fluid is frequently used for
making pressure measurements:
• We desire a simple methodology to predict the pressure difference in these devices.
• Modern devices use strain gages attached to membranes.

Manometers • Types of Manometers
– Piezotube – U-Tube (for vacuum pressures) – U-Tube differential (for pressure difference) – Inclined (for small pressure difference)
• Manometers allow for accurate pressure measurement provided the manometer fluid’s density is accurately known.
• Typical fluids include: water (S.G. = 1), oil (S.G. 0.797-0.827), mercury (S.G. = 13.55).

Manometers • We can use this simple approach to define the pressure
change (increases) as we move downwards through the fluid and (decreases) as we move upwards.
• We also know, since the fluid is stationary that pressure along any horizontal line is constant. At any interface, we jump across.

Forces on Submerged Surfaces • We wish to resolve the pressure distribution and obtain
the following information: – Resultant force (FR) – Location of the Centroid of the surface (CofG) – Location of the Center of Pressure (CofP)
• This will allow us to make appropriate calculations for forces and moments required in systems.
• We will also require some information about moments of area.
• Later we will consider curved surfaces and develop an alternate approach for these systems.

Forces on Submerged Surfaces • The force on the plate is obtained by integrating the
pressure force over the surface:
• We also know we can write the pressure at any point as:

Forces on Submerged Surfaces • The integral is the first moment of area about the x-axis,
which may be simplified according to:
• Where yC is y coordinate of the location of the centroid of the surface.
• Thus we may finally write:
• Frequently, we do not need need to consider the absolute pressure, as the net force is due to gage pressure.

Forces on Submerged Surfaces • Since the pressure varies with depth, the resultant
force does not act the centroid of the surface. • To find the location of the resultant force, we need to
consider moments about the x-axis:

Forces on Submerged Surfaces • Simplifying and solving for yP we get:
• Ixx,c is the second moment about the centroid. It is tabulated for many shapes.
• If we are dealing with gage pressure, which we frequently do, the above formula simplifies to give:
since for gage pressure FR = ρgycA. • yP is the center of pressure.

Forces on Submerged Surfaces • For surfaces which are not symmetric with respect to
the y-axis, we must also locate the C of P in the x-direction. The analysis is similar and leads to the following:

Forces on Submerged Surfaces • Summary:
– Resultant force is the product of pressure at the C of G and the area of the surface.
– It acts a the C of P which is below the C of G. – The location of the C of P requires the second moment about
the centroid. – If the plate is not symmetric with respect to the y-axis, we
need to locate the C of P in the x-direction as well. – Frequently we use gage pressure in the resultant force. – Taking the coordinate system at the C of G rather than the
free surface we have:

utilize a different approach, than in plane surfaces, since integration is more complex.

Curved Surfaces • The horizontal force component is calculated for a
virtual vertical surface using:
• The vertical force component is found to be the weight of the fluid over the surface:
• The line of action of the vertical weight is through the centroid of the volume of fluid above the curved surface. This can be difficult to find but not impossible.

Buoyancy and Stability • Floating bodies or suspended bodies in a fluid are
another common application of fluid statics. • The buoyant force is due to the hydrostatic pressure

Example - 10 • It is desired to make a floatation device from steel in
the shape of a sphere. The device is to have an outer diameter of 30 cm. How thick should the vessel wall be to assure floatation in fresh water. What happens if the sphere is then placed in oil S.G. = 0.8 and seawater S.G. 1.025? Assume that the steel has a density of 7854 kg/m3. What about the contents inside, if any?

Example - 11 • A helium weather balloon is designed to carry a payload of
250 [kg] (carriage, instruments, balloon fabric etc.). The balloon has a nearly spherical shape with a diameter of 12 [m] and is filled with helium gas having a density ρ = 1.66 x 10-1 [kg/m3 ]. The air temperature of the standard atmosphere varies linearly with altitude up to 11 km. If the balloon is constructed of a material which prevents significant heat transfer from the inside of the balloon to the atmospheric air outside, i.e. assume constant temperature inside the balloon. Determine the altitude to which the balloon will rise, i.e find z. Hint: consider the air as an ideal gas.

Buoyancy and Stability • Stability of floating bodies is quite important. The
relative locations of the center of gravity of a body and its center of buoyancy determine stability.

Buoyancy and Stability • In general, the buoyant force and gravitational force of
a body in equilibrium are inline. • Keep in mind that the buoyant force is located at the
center of buoyancy which is the centroid of the submerged portion of the body. Its location changes as a body is displaced, the center of mass of the body does not move.
• As a result, if the body is displaced in such a manner that they are no longer in line, a moment arises which may restore the body to its position (stable) or overturn the body (unstable).

Buoyancy and Stability • In general, we can define the Metacentric height of a
floating body as:

Example - 12 • A floating rectangular barge has a displacement in water of
H, with a total height of 2H, a width 2L, and a length B (into the page B >> 2L). Assuming (in this case) that the barge has a weight such that its CofG is always at the waterline, determine the ratio of L/H which ensures stability for small displacements.

Example - 13 • A 4 m wood log having a 15 cm diameter is
to be weighted at one end in an attempt to provide vertical stability. The specific weight of the wood is 0.5 that of water. A 20 kg cylindrical lead weight sleeve of length 30 cm is added to one end. Assuming that the weight has negligible volume as compared with the volume of the log, will the log float vertical or will it find another stable orientation, i.e. find the meta-centric height. Hint, you will need to find the CofG of the weighted log using a simple moment (pivot) analysis.
