Question:

Which of these assumptions and/or limitations must be known when using Eq. (3.33) for a submerged surface or panel to calculate the distance between the centroid of the panel and the center of pressure of the hydrostatic force (select all that apply):

a. The equation only applies to a single fluid of constant density.

b. The pressure at the surface must be p = 0 gage.

c. The panel must be vertical.

d. The equation gives only the vertical location (as a slant distance) to the CP, not the lateral distance from the edge of the body.
