For a vertical rectangular gate, one side has linseed oil (0.938) and the other has two fluids—castor oil (0.96) and water. Considering a unit-width of the gate, apply the PRESSURE PRISM CONCEPT (Illustrate and label the pressure diagram/prism) to calculate the magnitude and direction of the following when z=22ft. A.) The hydrostatic force due to linseed oil F1. B.) The hydrostatic force due to castor oil F2 C.) The hydrostatic force due to water. D.) The net hydrostatic force acting on the gate Fnet.
