Problem 5: Hydrostatic Pressure Consider the swimming pool light fixture shown below. It has a diameter of 15 cm, and is mounted on the horizontal bottom of a swimming pool that is 2.5 m deep. Calculate the vertical hydrostatic force [N] on the light fixture using equation (2.17) F = f PdA and a polar coordinate system whose origin is at the center of the circle shown. Do not use the weight of the fluid above the light fixture, F= PA, or equation (2.19), unless you want to check your work. Ignore atmospheric pressure.
