A open cylinder with 2m of water is acted by an unbalanced upward force of 2OKN. The volume of water inside the cylinder is 6.28cu.m. Use 9.81m/s^2 as acceleration due to gravity and 9.81kN/m^3 as water's specific weight. Compute the acceleration of the tank in m/s^2. Compute for the pressure at the bottom of the tank in kPa. Calculate the force on the bottom of the tank in kN.
