Cylindrical water tanks are usually found on high-rise buildings and they are filled with water. Due to the weight of the water, collapses occur at the bottom of the tank. Depression (a) in the tank bottom depends on the diameter of the tank (D), the density of the water (c), the acceleration of gravity (g), the height of the water in the tank (h), the thickness of the tank bottom (t) and the modulus of the tank material (E). Using the Buckingham Pi theorem, obtain a functional expression for the collapse of the tank bottom (a).

- A cylindrical tank is being filled simultaneously with water and sugar. The input of water and sugar is carefully adjusted so that the concentration of sugar in the water is held constant at 5 grams per cubic meter. The tank has a radius of 5 meters and a height of 10 meters. At a particular point in time, the water level is 3 meters high and rising at a rate of .5 meters per second. At this time, how...

An 800-gallon, 1.2 m wide cylindrical water tank is filled to the brim. The tank has a hole formed at 13.3 cm above the ground. It is observed that water leaks out of the reservoir at a speed that reduces by 3.2 m.s-1 in 1 minute 39 seconds. If the tank was initially filled to the brim how much water leaked out of the tank, and 8.2 by how much shall the point, at which water lands, change? (1 gallon...

In North America many birds die because they collide with windows of high-rise buildings. One possible solution to resolve the problem is to construct windows angled down slightly toward the ground, so that they reflect the ground rather than an image of the sky to flying bird. An experiment compared the number of birds that died as a result of vertical windows, windows angled 20° of vertical and windows angled 40° off vertical. The angles were randomly assigned with equal...
