A tank is divided in two compartments as shown in Figure A1-1. The left compartment contains a fluid of unknown density pf (darker area in the Figure A1-1), confined on the left by an L-shaped gate. A beam holding a mass of weight W is hinged to the gate as shown in the Figure A1-1. The rest of the gate is filled with water (light blue region, seawater density psw is 1035 Kgm ³).

Transcribed Image Text:A tank is divided in two compartments as shown in Figure A1-1. The left
compartment contains a fluid of unknown density pf (darker area in the Figure A1-1),
confined on the left by an L-shaped gate. A beam holding a mass of weight W is
hinged to the gate as shown in the Figure A1-1. The rest of the gate is filled with
water (light blue region, seawater density psw is 1035 Kgm³).
