QUESTION 1
A square tube is welded on one side and will be filled with liquid of a relative density of
1.15. An opening in the tube is to be completely covered by a plane plate hinged along
the upper side of the tube. Estimate the pulling force T required to open the plate when
the tube is immersed and mounted in a tank consisting of a liquid of specific gravity
0.9, and the upper edge is 0.5 m from the free surface. Take the mass of the plate as
6 kg.
