Answer:
The right solution is "2625 kN".
Explanation:
According to the question,
The average pressure will be:
= 
By putting values, we get
= 
= 
= 
hence,
The average force will be:
= 
= 
= 
Or,
= 
Answer:
The specific weight of unknown liquid is found to be 15 KN/m³
Explanation:
The total pressure in tank is measured to be 65 KPa in the tank. But, the total pressure will be equal to the sum of pressures due to both oil and unknown liquid.
Total Pressure = Pressure of oil + Pressure of unknown liquid
65 KPa = (Specific Weight of oil)(depth of oil) + (Specific Weight of unknown liquid)(depth of unknown liquid)
65 KN/m² = (8.5 KN/m³)(5 m) + (Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid)(1.5 m)
(Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid)(1.5 m) = 65 KN/m² - 42.5 KN/m²
(Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid) = (22.5 KN/m²)/1.5 m
<u>Specific Weight of Unknown Liquid = 15 KN/m³</u>
