The z component of the force of the fluid on the wetted surface of the pipe
Input(s)
po: Pressure at initial point \((\mathrm{Pa})\)
\(\mathrm{pL}\): Pressure at point \(\mathrm{L}(\mathrm{Pa})\)
\(\mathrm{R}\): Radius \((\mathrm{m})\)
L: Length \((\mathrm{m})\)
\(\rho\): Density \(\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)\)
\(\mathrm{g}\) : Gravitational Acceleration \(\left(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)\)
Output(s)
Fz: z-Component of Force (Newton)
Formula(s)
\[
F z=\pi * R^{2} *(p o-p L)+\pi * R^{2} * L * \rho * g
\]
