This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Consider the cylindrical weir of diameter 3m and length 6m. If the fluid on the left has a specific gravity of 1.6 and on the right has a specific gravity of 0.8, Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.

- the magnitude of the resultant force is 557.32 kN

- the direction of resultant force is  48.29°

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and the diagram below,

First we work on the force on the left hand side.

Left Horizontal

= βgAr

here, h = 3/2 = 1.5 m, β = 1.6, g = 9.81 m/s², A = 3 m × 6 m = 18 m²

we substitute

= βgAh = ( 1.6 × 1000 ) × 9.81 × 18 × 1.5 = 423792 N

Left Vertical

= ( βgπh² / 2 ) × W

we substitute

= [ ( ( 1.6 × 1000 ) × 9.81  × π(1.5)² ) / 2 ] × 6 = 332845.458 N

Now we go to the right hand side

Right Horizontal

= βgAh

here, h' = 1.5/2 = 0.75 m, β = 0.8, g = 9.81 m/s², A = 1.5 m × 6 m = 9 m²

we substitute

= ( 0.8 × 1000 ) × 9.81 × 9 × 0.75 ) = 52974 N

Right Vertical

= ( βgπh² / 4 ) × W

we substitute

= [ ( ( 0.8 × 1000 ) × 9.81  × π(1.5)² ) / 4 ] × 6 =  83211.36 N

Hence

Fx = - = 52974 N - 423792 N =  370818 N

Fy = + = 332845.458 N + 83211.36 N = 416056.818 N

R = √( Fx² + Fy² ) = √[ (370818 N)² + (416056.818 N)² ] = 557323.3 N

R = 557.32 kN

Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force is 557.32 kN

Direction of resultant force;

tanθ = Fy / Fx

we substitute

tanθ = 416056.818 N / 370818 N

tanθ = 1.121997

θ = tan⁻¹( 1.121997 )

θ = 48.29°

Therefore, the direction of resultant force is  48.29°

explanation:

absorption lines are where light has been absorbed by the atom thus you see a dip in the spectrum whereas.

emission spectra have spikes in the spectra due to atoms releasing photons at those wavelengths.
