Q2. A cylindricai tank of diameter 2.5 m is founded with its axis horizontal. The tank contains water in the bottom half and an oil of relative density 0.82 on the top haif with a common interface. The fluids are under pressure and a pressure gauge on the top of the cylinder reads 15 KPa. Caleulate the force per meter length on the upper half of the cylindrical tank.
Water enters and leaves a T-shaped piece of pipe located in the horizontal plane.
