Question: A closed cylindrical tank 2 . 4 m in diameter and 7 . 5 m long is completely filled with gasoline, of specific gravity 0

A closed cylindrical tank 2.4m in diameter and 7.5m long is completely filled
with gasoline, of specific gravity 0.90. The tank, with its long axis horizontal is
pulled by a truck along a horizontal surface. Draw the whole diagram and label
its parts (long axis, horizontal surface, rear wall, front wall, etc).
a. Determine the pressure difference between ends along the long axis of the
tank when the truck undergoes an acceleration of 1.5ms???2.(Ans.10.125kpa )
b. Determine the force on the rear wall (Ans.93.7kN)
c. Determine the force on the front wall (Ans.47.9kN)
