Question: The tank has a square - shaped base 2 m 2 m and is filled with oil ( density = 8 5 0 k g

The tank has a square-shaped base 2m2m and is filled with oil (density =850kgm3) and Patm =
101kPa. The pipe and manometer section at B are filled with water up to the interface with the oil.
Compute:
(A) Absolute pressure (Pa) at the bottom of the tank
(B) Hydrostatic force (N) on the bottom of the tank - see problem statement for tank
dimensions.
(C) Gauge pressure (Pa) at the interface of the water-oil in the manometer section
(D) Gauge pressure (Pa) at point B
(E) Pressure head, h(m of water), at point B
The tank has a square - shaped base 2 m 2 m and
