A rectangular tank 1.5 m wide, 3 m long and 1.8 m deep contains water to a depth of 1.2 m. Find the horizontal acceleration that may be imparted to the tank in the direction of its length so that

1. the water is just about to spill

2. the front bottom corner of the tank is just exposed.

3. the bottom of the tank is exposed to its midpoint.

For (2) and (3) above, compute the volume of the water that would spill out from the tank. Also compute the total forces on each end of the tank in each of the cases and show that the dierence between these forces equals the unbalanced force necessary to accelerate the liquid mass in the tank.
