A tank contains oil (s = 0.80), gasoline (s = 0.90) and sea water (s = 1.03). If the depth of the liquids are 0.5 m, 0.8 m and 1 m for oil, gasoline and sea water respectively. Find the pressure at the interface of oil and gasoline and bottom of the tank.
3. Calculate the volume if it is v1=1.5 L, P1= 100 Kpa , p2= 50 kpa
There are two sealed tank linked by a U-tube. If the pressure in the left and right tank are P1 and P2 respectively, and the fluid in the U-tube has a height difference of h. Assume the fluid in the U-tube is ρ, calculate the P1-P2.
Hint:
Set a imagination line at the bottom of the U-tube,
Assume the force acting on the left and right side of the line by the fluid is F1 and F2 respectively,
You can assume the area of the U-tube at the bottom plane is A.
Also the height of the fluid on the left and right side of the U-tube are h1 and h2 respectively
Calculate the F1, F2
