MCQ
A triangular lamina of area $A$ and height h is immersed in a liquid of density $\rho $ in a vertical plane with its base on the surface of the liquid. The thrust on the lamina is
  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}A\rho gh$
  • $\frac{1}{3}A\rho gh$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{6}A\rho gh$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3}A\rho gh$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{3}A\rho gh$
b
(b)Thrust on lamina = pressure at centroid $×$ Area
= $\frac{{h\rho g}}{3} \times A$=$\frac{1}{3}A\rho gh.$
