filled the well completely tothe surface, where the well head gage pressure p; of the
oil is measured to be 3E(6) Pa. (a) Ifthe oil has a density p, = 950 kg/m?, what is

Problem 2.6
‘A reservoir of water is closed at one end by a barrier, At the top of the barrier is
‘an L-shaped channel that further restrains the water when its level is higher than
the barcier top by the amount h, as shown in figure P2.6. ‘The channel is hinged at
the comer point O, so that it can rotate in a counterclockwise direction, but not in
‘clockwise direction. If the water level h is high enough, the pressure force on the
vertical face of the L-shaped channel will maintain a clockwise moment that will
exceed the counterclockwise moment ofthe pressure force on the horizontal leg of
the channel, and the channel will remain upright and prevent water leaking beneath
it. Calculate the minimum value of the ratio /H that will ust ensure against rotation
of the channel.Chapter? Fluid Staies
