E Problem 3 As shown in the figure below, a weight (0.225 m³) is added to the top of the piston (5 kg); both the added weight and the piston adds pressure to the oil (SG = 0.85) in a circular tank. The tank has a diameter (D₁) of 0.6 m. The oil in the tank has a height (h₁) of 1 m. An open-end pipe is connected to the oil tank from the bottom of the tank. The oil surface in the pipe is 1.5 m (h₂) above the oil surface in the tank. What is the density of the weight? Weight Piston hy W D₁ Oil h₂ DELL
