Question
A rectangular tank 7m long by 2.4m deep and 2.65m wide, contains 1.2m of water.
If the linear acceleration horizontal in the direction of the tank's length is 2.75m/s²
a) Compute the total force due to the water acting on each end of the tank
b) Show that the difference between these forces equals the unbalanced force necessary to accelerate the liquid mass
c) If the tank is filled with water and accelerate in the direction of its length at the rate 1.72m s³, how many litres of water are spilled
d) What is the maximum acceleration should be to keep no water will spill out
