Brain Teaser

1. A rectangular tank 4m x 2m contains water up to depth of 1.2 meters. Calculate the total pressure on base of the tank.
2. Find specific gravity of liquid if its rise in the piezometer is 55cm for a pressure of 4100 N/m².
3. Convert 15 N/cm² pressure in oil column of specific gravity 0.80.
4. Convert 18 cm mercury column equivalent to water column.
5. An equilateral triangular plate of base 3.5m and altitude 3m is immersed vertically in an oil of specific gravity 0.8.determine the total pressure and depth of centre of pressure of the plate.
