LABS start the week of January 28 and will be held EVERY week. Make sure you visit the
Lab website
and print the corresponding documents BEFORE each lab.
Classes of Febr. 26 and 28. Reading assignment: pp. 52-59.
Corrections in textbook:
In Fig. 3.12 (a) (on p. 53), the distribution of the shown
elementary pressure forces
should be of increasing magnitude as the depth increases.
In equ. 3.29, the
subscript of A should be AC; NOTE: What is given as A_AC is actually the same as to what I call A_projected, i.e. the
projected area of the "gate" ABC (part of the pressurized tank) on the horizontal plane.
