An enclosed cubic tank of side length 2 m is filled with water through a vertical stand- pipe of 50 mm diameter and 5 m height above the top of the tank. Water is poured slowly into the pipe until it overflows from the top of the pipe. What is the hydrostatic force exerted on the base of the tank? In order to avoid failure of the tank, it is suggested that the pipe diameter could be reduced to 25 mm. What would the loading be under these circumstances?
