SITUATION A.
An open rectangular tank mounted on a truck has the following dimensions: L = 6 m, W = 3 m, H =
2.8m; and is filled with water to a depth of 2.1 m.
1. What maximum horizontal acceleration can be imposed on the tank without spilling any
water?
2.
Determine the accelerating force on the liquid mass.
3. If the acceleration is increased to 8m/s2, how much water is spilled out?
4. If the same tank is accelerated on an inclined plane 12 deg to horizontal, what maximum
acceleration can be imposed so that the water in the tank will not spill?
5.
If the same tank is closed and accelerated at 3.5m/s2 horizontally, determine the total force
acting at the rear.
