SSC SSC JE Mechanical 2025 Mock Test Series (Paper 1 & Paper 2) Fluid Mechanics Hydrostatic Force Pressure Force on Submerged Bodies
A trapezoidal plate with sides p and q parallel and horizontal (q > p) is held vertically under a liquid surface with either the side p or q at the top. The total pressure is:
1
same irrespective of whether side p or q is at top
2
Depends on the thickness of plate, and not on orientation of plate
3
higher when side q is at top
4
higher when side p is at top
