A solid hemisphere of radius R is made to just sink in a liquid of density ρ. Find a. the vertical thrust on the curved surface b. the vertical thrust on the flat surface c. the side thrust on the hemisphere. d. the total hydrostatic force acting on the hemisphere.

Water is retained by a curved gate AB. Compute the horizontal and vertical component of the resultant of the hydrostatic pressure dsitribution on the gate AB which is a quarter of a cylinder. Assume that the gate is 4m wide.
