The z component of the force of the fluid on the wetted surface of the pipe

Input(s)

po: Pressure at initial point (Pa)(\mathrm{Pa})

pL\mathrm{pL}: Pressure at point L(Pa)\mathrm{L}(\mathrm{Pa})

R\mathrm{R}: Radius (m)(\mathrm{m})

L: Length (m)(\mathrm{m})

ρ\rho: Density (kg/m3)\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)

g\mathrm{g} : Gravitational Acceleration (m/s2)\left(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)

Output(s)

Fz: z-Component of Force (Newton)

Formula(s)

Fz=πR2(popL)+πR2LρgF z=\pi * R^{2} *(p o-p L)+\pi * R^{2} * L * \rho * g
