To solve the problem of finding the thrust experienced by the vertical and bottom surfaces of a tank filled with water, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Calculate the thrust on the bottom of the tank
1. **Identify the dimensions and parameters**:
- Cross-section of the tank: \(2 \, \text{m} \times 2 \, \text{m}\)
- Height of water: \(h = 2.5 \, \text{m}\)
- Density of water: \(\rho = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3\)
