The hydrostatic force on a submerged horizontal circular surface depends on ____

7. The hydrostatic force on a submerged horizontal circular surface depends on ____.

1. The depth of submergence and fluid density
2. The radius of the circular surface and fluid viscosity
3. The height of the fluid column and fluid compressibility
4. The weight of the circular surface

Answer: A) The depth of submergence and fluid density

Explanation:

The hydrostatic force on a submerged horizontal circular surface depends on the depth of submergence and fluid density. The deeper the surface is submerged and the denser the fluid, the greater the hydrostatic force.
