A rectangular tank 10m long by 2m deep by 5m wide contains Im of water. If the linear acceleration horizontally in the direction of the tank's length is 3 m/sec', (a) compute the total force due to the water acting on each end of the tank and (b) show that the difference between these forces equals the unbalanced force necessary to accelerate the liquid mass. A а 2m 1m B 10m
