Question

Does total pressure takes into the account force exerted by the fluid when it is in the dynamic motion?

(a) Yes

(b) No

(c) Depends on the conditions

(d) Depends on the type of Motion

This question was addressed to me in a job interview.

My question is based upon Total Pressure & Vertical Plane Surface Submerged in a Liquid topic in portion Hydrostatic Forces on Surfaces of Fluid Mechanics

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) No

To explain: Total pressure is defined only for the static fluid at rest. There is no dynamic component as no motion is involved.
