A triangular gate with a base width of 2 m and a height of 1.5 m lies in a vertical plane. The top vertex of the gate is 1.5 m below the surface of a tank which contains oil of specific gravity 0.8. Considering the density of water and acceleration due to gravity to be 1000 $$kg/m^3$$ and 9.81 $$m/s^2$$, respectively, the hydrostatic force (in kN) exerted by the oil on the gate is __________.

A 588 $$cm^3$$ volume of moist sand weighs 1010 gm. Its dry weight is 918 gm and specific gravity of solids, G is 2.67. Assuming density of water as 1 gm/$$cm^3$$, the void ratio is __________.

If the water content of a fully saturated soil mass is 100%, the void ratio of the sample is

The average surface area of a reservoir in the month of June is 20 km². In the same month, the average rate of inflow is 10 m³/s, outflow rate is 15 m³/s, monthly rainfall is 10 cm, monthly seepage loss is 1.8 cm and the storage change is 16 million m³. The evaporation (in cm) in that month is
