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.

A closed rectangular tank 1.2 m high, 2.4 m long and 1.5 m wide
is two-thirds full of gasoline (specic gravity 0.8). Calculate the
acceleration which may be imparted to the tank so that the bottom
front end of the tank is just exposed. Also calculate the total
forces on each end of the tank and show that the dierence between
these forces equals the unbalanced force necessary to accelerate
the liquid mass in the tank.

A rectangular car tank 20m long, 4m wide and 3m deep is
completely open at the top. If it is initially filled to the top:
(a) How much liquid will be spilled if it is given a horizontal
acceleration of 0.3g in the direction of its length? (b) What is
the maximum hydrostatic force acting on the side opposite the
direction of the acceleration. (c) Determine the volume of the
remaining water at the tank.

A 4 m-wide tank with height of 1.8 m filled with water is pulled
with a cable inclined at 30o to the horizontal. The constant
acceleration value in the cable direction is 4 m/s². The water
depth is measured as 1.5 m before the motion starts. Determine
the angle between the water surface and the horizontal. Compute
the maximum and minimum pressure values on the bottom of the tank.
How many volume of water are spilled?

A rectangular, well-mixed aeration lagoon is 75 m long, 5 m
wide, and 2 m deep. It receives 400 m3/d of wastewater
with a BOD5 of 367mg BOD5/L for treatment.
The biodegradation rate constants for the wastewater are the
following: yield coefficient = 0.8 mg VSS/mg BOD5,
endogenous decay constant = 0.08 d-1, maximum specific
microbial growth rate = 1 d-1, and half velocity
constant = 76.0 mg
BOD5/L.

: A rectangular plate 1.5m wide and 2.5m deep is placed
vertically in water so that the center of plate is 4m below the
free surface. Determine the total pressure and the depth of center
of pressure. State also whether the equilibrium is stable or
unstable. The above rectangular plate is taken out of the water
which weighs 350.5 N in air and 173.3 N in water of specific
gravity 0.99. Find the volume and specific gravity of the plate....

A rectangular swimming pool is 5 ft deep, 10 ft wide, and 15 ft
long. The pool is filled with water to 1 ft below the
top. If the weight density of water is 62.4 lb /
ft3 and if x = 0 corresponds to the bottom of
the tank, then which of the following represents the work done (in
ft-lb) in pumping all the water into a drain at the top edge of the
pool?

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?

A
tank contains 100 gal of water. Brine enters the tank at the rate
of 3 gal/min. The mixture, thoroughly stirred, leaves the tank at
the rate of 2 gal/min. If the salt concentration in the brine at
the end of 20 minutes is to be 2 lb/gal, what should be the salt
concentration in the brine entering the tank?
