[29]. __ True or __ False. The equation p = h represents the gage pressure at a depth h below the free
surface of a liquid of specific weight open to the atmosphere.
[30]. If a horizontal plane surface of area A is submerged at a depth h in a liquid of specific weight
the force due to the liquid pressure on the area is calculated as:
(a) hA (b) h/A (c) A/h (d) h + A
[31]. If a vertical plane surface of area A is submerged in a liquid of specific weight , and hc is the
depth of the surface's centroid below the free surface, then, the force due to the liquid pressure on the
area is calculated as:
(a) A/ hc (b) hc A (c) A/ hc (d) hc + A
[32]. The point on a plane surface where the hydrostatic force acts is referred to as:
(a) the center of gravity (b) the centroid (c) the center of mass (d) the center of pressure
[33]. __True or __ False: The buoyancy force on a solid submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of
the volume of liquid displaced by the solid.
[34]. __ True or __ False: Archimedes' principle is used to calculate the buoyancy force on a solid
submerged in a liquid.
[35]. __ True or __ False: If a nonporous solid has a specific weight (or density) larger than that of the
liquid where it is submerged the solid body will sink in the liquid.
[36]. __ True or __ False: If a nonporous solid has a specific weight (or density) smaller than that of
the liquid where it is submerged the solid body will float to the surface of the liquid.
[37]. A hydrometer can be used to measure the _____________ of a liquid.
(a) viscosity (b) specific gravity (c) surface tension (d) bulk modulus of elasticity
