The cross-section of a chemical liquids tank with a sloped bottom is shown in Figure 5. A rectangular door 1.5 m long (denoted by L) by 1 m wide (into the computer screen or out-of-plane) in the bottom of the tank is hinged at A and is opened against the pressure of the fluid by the cable under a tension P as shown. Given the density of the fluid is 900 kg/m, h = 1 m, and an incline angle of 0 = 35 degree, determine the followings and calculate the minimum force P that is needed to open the rectangular door. You must include all necessary free body diagrams (FBD) and intermediate calculations in your worked solution.
