A Glycerin container and Oil container are separated by a gate that is pinned at the top. The depth of Glycerin in its container is 1m, the depth of Oil is 1m+H. Assume that both containers extend into the page 1m. At what Oil height, H, above the top of the Glycerin are hydrostatic forces on the gate exactly balanced so that the gate stays vertical? (SG is Specific Gravity and ?water ?=9800N/m3 )
