Question
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
%D
Water, pw= 1000 kg/m3
h, = 0.8 m
A = 0.5 m²
O a.
5.1 kN
O b. 5.4 kN
Ос.
1.28 kN
O d. 4.32 kN
е.
10.2 kN
