A rectangular gate 1.8 m high by 1.20 m wide is mounted on the vertical wall of an open rectangular tank filled with oil. The top of the gate is 1.2 m below the surface of oil. What is the minimum force F applied at the top edge of the gate required to keep it close assuming the gate is hinged at the bottom edge. (S=0.8)
A vertical rectangular plate is submerged half in oil (s = 0.80) and half in water such that its topedge is flushed with the oil surface. What is the ratio of the force exerted by water acting on thelower half to that by oil acting on the upper half?
