Consider the following setup that contains 2 different fluids and an incline gate, hinged at the bottom is at rest and therefore in equilibrium. The 2 fluids have different heights and different specific gravities (SG) SG1 = 0.8 and SG2 = 1.3. If the ratio of the 2 resultant forces (F1/F2) is known to be 1.5, then what is the ratio of the two heights H1/H2?
