A cylindrical tank having cross sectional area A = 0.5 m2 is filled with two liquids of density ρ1 = 900 kg m–3 and
ρ2 = 600 kg m–3, to a height h = 60 cm each as shown in the figure. A small whole having area a = 5 cm2 is made in right vertical wall at a height y = 20 cm from the bottom. A horizontal force F is applied on the tank to tank to keep it in static equilibrium. The tank is lying on a horizontal surface. Neglect mass of cylindrical tank in comparison to mass of liquids (take g = 10 ms–2).
 
Horizontal force F to keep the cylinder in static equilibrium, if it is placed on a smooth horizontal plane, is
  1. 7.2 N
  2. 10 N
  3. 15.5 N
  4. 20.4 N

Answer

(A) 7.2 N
