Question

A cubical tank has sides of 4.5m which contains three immiscible liquids at same depths. A water upto a height of 1.5m above the base,
An immiscible liquid of specific gravity 0.9 is filled in between both liquids (mid-portion) upto 1.5m height, the upper remaining part is filled
with oil of specific gravity 0.79. Calculate
(i) The value of pressures at the top, at the interface points and at bottom on one side of the tank
(ii) The position of center of pressure for one side of the tank.
(iii) What suggestions would you give to your client on the basis of obtained results?
(iv) Pressure distribution Diagram
