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.

Problem 2:
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.
