An open retangular tank 5mxx4mxx3m high ...


An open retangular tank `5mxx4mxx3m` high containing water upto a height of 2m is accelerated horizontally along the longer side.
(i). Determine the maximum acceleration that can be given without spilling the water.
(ii). Calculate the percentage of water split over if this acceleration of increased by 20%
(iii). If initially the tank is closed at the top and its accelerated horizontally by `9m//s^(2)` find the gauge pressure at the bottom of the front and rear walls of the tank.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(i). `4m//s^(2)`
(ii). `10%`
(iii). `0,45KPa`
