d) An open rectangular storage tank with vertical walls is first filled with water to a height of 1.5 m from the bottom. This is then covered by a layer of oil. The depth of the oil column is such that its weight is 35% of the weight of the water column. Calculate the total pressure force acting on a 2 m wide vertical wall of the tank due to the columns of oil and water. The ambient temperature and pressure are 15C and 1 bar respectively. The densities of water and oil are 1000kgm3 and 700kgm3 respectively.
