Question

Where will be the location of centre of pressure if a beaker contains water up to a height of 'h'

• A. \(h/3\)
• B. \(h/2\) from the surface
• C. \(2h/3\) from the surface
• D. \(h/6\) from the surface

Hint:

For any vertical rectangular plate with its top edge aligned with the liquid surface, the pressure distribution is triangular. The centroid of a triangle is located at \(\frac{2}{3}\) of its height from the apex (surface), which yields \(2h/3\) instantly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
