Figure Q2 shows two tanks which contain the solvent used for plastic manufacturing.
Tank A contains the cyclohexanol and Tank B contains the ethyl lactate. Calculate the
pressure on the top of tank A, if the mercury in the manometer is at the level as shown,
where h = 0.75 m. Take the specific gravities of cyclohexanol, mercury, and ethyl
lactate as, Seyclo = 0.953, Smercury = 13.55 and Sethyl = 1.03.

FQ2: Schematic of two tanks A and B containing the plastic solvent
Question: A rectangular plane, 1.2 m by 1.8 m is submerged in water and makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal, the 1.2 m sides being horizontal.
1. If the top of the edge of the plane is at the free surface, what would be the shape of the pressure distribution acting on the plane.
2. What is the minimum AND maximum pressure acting on the plane in kPa?
3. Find the magnitude of the hydrostatic force acting on either side of the plane in KN. Draw a figure with labeled pressure prism diagrams.
