Hydrostatic force on a curved surface (Summary)
Horizontal component: ๐น- = (^) โซ ๐๐๐ด. = Force acting on the vertical projection of the surface
Vertical component:
The vertical force ( ๐น. ) is equal to the weight of the fluid above the surface ๐น. = ๐ x

Example 2 Consider two volumes of water, one salty and one fresh water, separated by a wall. Given that the depth of the salty water is 7m, (a) find the depth of fresh water required to give a zero resultant force on the wall. (b) Will the moment due to fluid forces be zero when the resultant is zero? Why?
