Calculate the hydrostatic pressure for water moving with constant velocity at a depth of 5 m from the surface.

(a) 49 kN/m2

(b) 98 kN/m2

(c) since fluid is in motion, we cannot analyse

(d) None of the mentioned

The question was posed to me in homework.

I want to ask this question from Fluid Pressure at a Point and Pascal’s Law topic in chapter Pressure and Its Measurement of Fluid Mechanics

Correct answer is (a) 49 kN/m2

For explanation: If fluid is moving with uniform velocity we treat it analytically same as if fluid is at rest

                               p= ρgh.
