A circular tank of 3.91m in diameter is uniformly loaded with 100 kPa. Compute: a) The stresses under the center of the tank at a depth of 2m below the tank and compute the stresses under the edge of the tank, also at a depth of 2m. b) Compare the stress computed only under the center of the tank at a depth of 2m from previous numeral, but now using the solution of "uniformly loaded rectangular area." This is done after converting the circle into an equivalent square. Discuss the results.
