**Problem Statement:** A concrete pipe of 6 m long is used to block flood water from the left to prevent contamination of a pond of oil on the right. If the flood water has a specific gravity of SG=1.6 and the oil’s SG=0.8, find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force. **Diagram Explanation:** The diagram depicts a circular concrete pipe. The left side of the pipe is submerged in flood water, which has a height of 3 meters. The right side of the pipe is submerged in oil, with a height of 1.5 meters. The pipe itself remains centrally positioned between these two fluids. The floodwater and oil levels are represented with horizontal lines, indicating their respective heights relative to the pipe.
