1.	A vessel of length l, breadth b and height h is filled completely with a liquid of density d (see figure) Calculate the thrust on each surface of the cube.
Answer» SOLUTION :Thrust = Pressure `xx ` Area Thrust on the base= hdg` xx ` lb LATERAL thrust on a VERTICAL wall with l and h as its sides = Pressure at the centre of gravity ` xx `area ` = ( ( 0+ h)/( 2)) DG xx lh ` ` "" = (1)/(2) h^(2)ldg. ` Lateral thrust on bh wall ` ""= (h)/(2)dg xx bh` `"" = (1)/(2)h^(2)b dg.`
