A vat contains a mixture of oil and water. The water forms a lower layer which is 0.8 m deep, and above it there is an oil layer 0.3 m thick. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3, and the density of oil is 800 kg/m3.

Find the force on a flat door at the bottom of the vessel that has a cross-sectional area of 0.5 m2.

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.

Oil, p. = 800 kg/m3
h, = 0.3 m

Water, pw = 1000 kg/m3
h, = 0.8 m
