Question

What is the total force on the bottom of a rectangular tank of length 6.00 m, width 10.0 m, and depth 3.20 m? Total force is 1.88MN

a) Above we had the total force on the bottom of a rectangular tank of length 6.00 m, width 10.0 m, and depth 3.20 m. Now, what is the total force on one of the smaller sides of the side of this tank?

a) 301,000 N

b) 422,000 N

c) 86,300 N

B) 653,000 N

C) 502,000 N

Explanation / Answer

average pressure on the side wall = 0.5 rho g h

= 0.5*1000*9.8*3.2

= 15680 Pa

Force on smaller side = average oressure * area

= 15680*6*3.2

= 301000 Pa (approx)

So option a is correct
