Ans. Hydrostatic force can be calculated for irregularly shaped objects by integrating the pressure distribution over the object's surface. This involves dividing the surface into small elemental areas and calculating the pressure at each point using the equation P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the vertical distance from the surface to the fluid level. By summing up the pressure contributions from all elemental areas, the total hydrostatic force can be determined.
