Problem 4. A tank with vertical ends contain oil (0.82) and is 8m long nomal to the plane. The sketch in figure 1 shows a portion of its cross-section where AB is one-quarter of an ellipse with semi-axes b and d. If b=4m, d=6m and the distance from point A to the oil surface is 1.50m, determine the following: a. Horizontal component Fn of the hydrostatic force b. Vertical component F, of the hydrostatic force c. Location of the center of pressure vertically from the liquid surface d. Line of action of the vertical force "x in reference with point B B.
