Question
An open rectangular tank 3m long and 2 m wide is filled with water to a depth of 1.5 m. Find the slope of the water surface when the tank moves with an acceleration of 5 m/s- up a 30° inclined plane. A rectangular tank 6 m long, 3 m wide and 2m deep contains water to a depth of 1 m. It is accelerated horizontally at 2.5 m/s^2 in the direction of its length. Determine the maximum pressure intensities at bottom. A cubical box 1m on an edge, open at the top and half filled with water is placed on an incline plane making a 15° angle with the horizontal. The box alone weighs 500 N and has a coefficient of friction with the plane of 0.30. Determine the acceleration of the box along the plane.
