A circular tank at a storage facility is 10 metres diameter and contains transformer oil of mass density 885 kg/m3 to a depth of 6.5 metres. (i) Draw the pressure distribution diagram for the side of the tank noting all significant values and showing the position of the force due to oil on the side of the tank relative to the oil surface. (ii) Calculate the ground pressure under the full tank (in kPa) neglecting the weight of the tank.

Question

A circular tank at a storage facility is 10 metres diameter and
contains transformer oil of mass density 885 kg/m3 to a depth of 6.5
metres.
(i) Draw the pressure distribution diagram for the side of the
tank noting all significant values and showing the position of
the force due to oil on the side of the tank relative to the oil
surface.

(ii) Calculate the ground pressure under the full tank (in kPa)
neglecting the weight of the tank.
