A 10m diameter storage tank, 15m high is used to contain four different liquids. 2.50m of liquid A(SG=085), 5m of liquid B(SG=2.40), 3.80m of fresh water, and 2.70m of liquid CSG=7.79). It is provide with two steel bands installed 1m from the top and 1m from the bottom. Determine the : a) total hydrostatic force acting on the wall of the tank. b) the line of action of the total force from the bottom c) tensile force at the top band and the tensile force at the bottom band. Please draw the complete pressure diagram with proper labelling.
