A cylindrical object 85mm diameter, 157mm height and a mass of 601g, is placed in the tank, which contains oil(51mm
thick) and water. Calculate the height(in mm) above the surface of the oil at which it will float if maintained in the
vertical position. Take density of oil equals 966 kg/m³.
Answer in two decimal places. Numerical values only. Don't indicate units here, just on the submitted solution.
A concrete block is attached to the gate as shown. If the water level is 1.3 m from the bottom of the container, and there is no reaction force at A, what would be the reaction force for the level shown? The specific gravity of the concrete is 2.4.
