JEE Main 2 April 2025, Shift 1, Physics Q47

Question 47 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 22 of 25, Section B.

A vessel with square cross-section and height of 6 m is vertically partitioned. A small window of 100 cm2100\ \mathrm{cm}^2 with hinged door is fitted at a depth of 3 m in the partition wall. One part of the vessel is filled completely with water and the other side is filled with the liquid having density 1.5×103 kg/m31.5\times10^3\ \mathrm{kg/m^3}. What force one needs to apply on the hinged door so that it does not get opened ? (Acceleration due to gravity =10 m/s2=10\ \mathrm{m/s^2})
