Q: Total pressure is a force exerted by a fluid when static mass of the fluid comes in contact with a plane or curved surface. The point of application of total pressure on the surface is known as______.
  • A. centre of gravity
  • B. centre of pressure
  • C. centroid
  • D. centre of point
Correct Answer: Option B - Centre of pressure– • Centre of pressure is basically defined as a single point through which or at which total pressure or total hydrostatic force will act. • Centre of pressure always below to centre of gravity in case of fluid.
B. Centre of pressure– • Centre of pressure is basically defined as a single point through which or at which total pressure or total hydrostatic force will act. • Centre of pressure always below to centre of gravity in case of fluid.

Explanations:
