One side of the container has a 03-m square door that is hinged at its top edge. If the container is filled with water, determine the smallest force F that must be applied to the bottom edge of the door to keep it closed.
Consider a U-tube filled with mercury. The diameter of the right arm of the U-tube is D = 1.5 cm, and the diameter of the left arm is twice that. Heavy oil with a specific gravity of 2.72 is poured into the left arm, forcing some mercury from the left arm into the right one. Determine the maximum amount of oil that can be added into the left arm.
