What is the hydrostatic force on the bottom surface of the


2. Imagine an empty soda can pushed down in a tub of water at a 45 degree angle such that the upper surface is still exposed to atmosphere but one end is entirely submerged. You will have forces on the bottom and around the sides of the can. For this problem we will only deal with the forces on the bottom of the can (which is approximately a circular plane). Make sure you draw a sketch, define and label your variables, then find the answers to the two questions below. (Make sure you use SI units - not English)

2a. What is the hydrostatic force on the bottom surface of the can?

2b. What is the depth at which the hydrostatic force on the bottom acts?

I'm using the height of the can to be 4.83 inches (.0019 m after converted) and the diameter to be 2.50 inches (9.84x10^-4 m after converted)
