A large oil tank contains a circular gate with a diameter of 2 meters fixed to the inclined wall of the tank, as shown in Figure 2. The gate is installed on a column along its horizontal diameter, oil height 12 m above the column. Find the force needed to open the gate, if you know that the density of oil is 850. (Ixe= TR*/4)
