An open tank 2m x 4m rectangular horizontal section has a negligible weight and contains water to a depth of 1.5m. It is acted upon by an unbalanced force of 50 kN parallel to onger side so that water is about to spill. a) Determine the safe height of tank. b) If the tank is closed and the acceleration is increased by 4m/s², determine the new unbalanced force if the pressure on the surface is 30kPa.
