Question

A 5-m-long, 4-m-high tank contains 2.5-m-deep water when not in motion and is open to the atmosphere through a vent in the middle. The tank is now accelerated to the right on a level surface at 2 m/s2. Determine the maximum gage pressure in the tank. Mark that point at the interior bottom of the tank. Draw the free surface at this acceleration.

Answer 1

Answer: hello your question lacks the required diagram attached below is the diagram

answer : 29528.1 N/m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

dimensions of tank :

Length = 5-m

Width = 4-m

Depth = 2.5-m

acceleration of tank = 2m/s^2

Determine the maximum gage pressure in the tank

Pa ( pressure at point A ) = s*g*h1

= 10^3 * 9.81 * 3.01

= 29528.1 N/m^2

attached below is the remaining part of the solution
