Question: Shown below is a sealed, square ( W by W ) , container that is partially filled with water. The cart is resting on frictionless

Shown below is a sealed, square (W by W), container that is partially filled with water. The cart is resting on frictionless wheels. There is a U-tube manometer connected to the wall above the water line as shown. There is a rectangular slot of width W and height H that is cut into the side of the cart at depth l_3, near the bottom where the water is escaping as shown by the arrows. Assume H is relatively small compared with the other dimensions such that the problem is "quasi-steady". Assume in the manometer l_1=40cm and l_2=22cm, and SG of the fluid is 13.6. Assume l_3=0.5m, W =2m, and H=0.01m. A) Calculate the time rate of change dl/dt.
B) Calculate the reaction force R_1 required to hold the container in place.
