Q: A (3.6 m) square gate provided in an oil tank is hinged at its top edge as shown in Figure. The tank contains gasoline (s.g. 0.7) up to a height of (1.8 m) above the top edge of the plate. The space above the oil is subjected to a negative pressure of (8250 pa). Determine the force F to be applied at the lower edge to open the gate. p= - 8250 pa LS m s.g=0.7 Hinge 150
