A tank contains 2 m of seawater with relative density of 1.03. The tank is 2.5 m wide, 3 m long, and 3.5 m high. Since the tank is tightly closed, there is a pressure of 51 kPa due to air that fills the container above the liquid surface. Draw the free- body diagram exposing the longitudinal section of the tank. Using the FBD, what is the total normal force in kg acting on the wall of the tank? And what is its location from the bottom of the tank in meters?
