A rectangular tank is moving horizontally in the direction of its length with a constant acceleration of 4.5 m/s2.The length, width and depth of tank are 7 m, 3m, 2.5m respectively. If tank is open at the top then calculate the total force due to water acting on higher pressure end of the tank.
(a) 1.07 MN
(b) 2.14 MN
(c) 4.28 MN
(d) 4.35 MN
This question was posed to me in exam.
I would like to ask this question from Pressure Distribution in a Liquid in section Hydrostatic Forces on Surfaces of Fluid Mechanics
