Mechanical Engineering QUESTION #2397
Question 1
The hydrostatic pressure \(p\) at depth \(h\) below a free surface in a fluid of specific weight \(\gamma\) is:
  • \(p = \gamma / h\)
  • \(p = \gamma h\)✔️
  • \(p = \rho h\)
  • \(p = h / \gamma\)
Correct Answer Explanation
Hydrostatic pressure: \(p=\gamma h=\rho g h\) where \(\gamma\) (N/m³) is specific weight, \(h\) is depth below the free surface.
