Q48
The resultant of all normal pressures acts
A.
at e.g. of body
B.
at center of pressure
AnswerC.
vertically upwards
D.
at metacentre
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The resultant of all normal pressures in a fluid acts at the center of pressure. The center of pressure is the point where the total force due to fluid pressure can be considered to act on a submerged surface. It is essential in the analysis of fluid forces on submerged surfaces.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: at center of pressure.
