Two tanks are filled to the same height (5 m) with water at 25 C as shown in the image below. The bottom of the tank on the left is at the same level as the top of the tank on the right. A pipe with a valve immediately above the right-hand side tank connects the two tanks, and Point A and point B are two points at the bottom of the tanks as shown in the image below. (a) Calculate the hydrostatic pressure at point A and point B if the valve is fully closed. (b) Calculate the hydrostatic pressure at point A and point B if the valve is fully opened. (c) Use the Geometric Method to calculate the magnitude and vertical location of the hydrostatic force that is acting on the wall X of the tank on the right when the valve is fully closed. The wall is a rectangular plane with a horizontal width of 4 m and inclined at 75 to the horizontal as shown in the image below. Set the origin and direction of the y-axis as shown in the image below. (d) Use the Integration Method to calculate the magnitude and vertical location of the hydrostatic force that is acting on the wall X of the tank on the right when the valve is fully opened. The wall is a rectangular plane with a horizontal width of 4 m and inclined at 75 to the horizontal as shown in the image below. Set the origin and direction of the y-axis as shown in the image below. 0 5 m 5 m valve B 75 WALL X Two tanks are filled to the same height (5 m) with water at 25 C as shown in the image below.
