A concrete block is attached to the gate as shown. If the water level is 1.3 m from the bottom of the container, there is no reaction force at A.What would be the reaction force for the level shown?Note 1: Specific gravity of concrete is 2.4.Please show clear workings with explanations to steps taken. I don't just want the answer, I want to understand the process to answering this question. Thanks
1.When a double-bottom tank is full of fresh water it holds 120 tonnes.Find how many
tonnes of ol of relative density 0.84 it will hold.
2. A tank measures 20 m. X 24m X 10.5 m. and contains oil of relative density 0.84.Find the
mass of oll it contains when the ullage is 2.bm. (Ulage is the distance from the surface of
the liquid in the tank to the top of the tank)
A vertical plate is submerged in water and has the shape as seen in the picture. Using the fact that the
weight of water is 62.5 lbs/ft³, calculate the hydrostatic force (in Ibs) against the end of the tank. Give
your answer correct to the nearest hundred.
(Hint: First set up a Riemann sum that approximates the hydrostatic force, which can then be used to
obtain an integral that represents the force.)
