rectangular plate is submerged half in oil with a Gs = 0.8 and hald in water such that its top edge is flushed with the oil surface. Determine the ratio of the force exerted by water acting on the lower half to that by the oil acting on the upper half. A closed cylindrical tank that is 2m in diameter and has a height of 8m contains 6m deep of oil with a Gs = 0.8. The air above the oil has a pressure equivalent to 0.8

Question
A rectangular plate is submerged half in oil with a Gs = 0.8 and hald in water such that its top edge is flushed with the oil surface. Determine the ratio of the force exerted by water acting on the lower half to that by the oil acting on the upper half.
A closed cylindrical tank that is 2m in diameter and has a height of 8m contains 6m deep of oil with a Gs = 0.8. The air above the oil has a pressure equivalent to 0.8 kg/cm². Solve for the total normal force in kg acting on the wall at its location from the bottom of the tank.
A circular gate is submerged in a liquid so that its top edge is flushed with the liquid surface. Solve for the ratio of the total force acting on the lower half to that acting on the upper half.
