Reconsider Prob. 3–167. Using EES (or other) software, investigate the effect of acceleration on the slope of the free surface of water in the tank. Let the acceleration vary from 0 m/s² to 15 m/s² in increments of 1 m/s². Tabulate and plot your results.

Data from Exercises 167.

A 5-m-long, 4-m-high tank contains 2.5-m-deep water when not in motion and is open to the atmosphere through a vent in the middle. The tank is now accelerated to the right on a level surface at 2 m/s². Determine the maximum pressure in the tank relative to the atmospheric pressure.
