A rectangular tank 6 m long, 2.25 m deep and 2.4 m wide contains 1 m of water. The tank is accelerated in the x-direction (along the direction of the 6 m length) with an acceleration of 2.5 m/s² in the direction of its length.

a) What is the angle (in degrees) of the water surface with the horizontal?

b) The depth (in m) at the deep end of the tank is:

c) The total force (in kN) acting on the wall with the deeper water is:

d) What acceleration (in m/s^2 ) would be required in the x-direction to just uncover the bottom of the tank?

e ) What acceleration (in m/s^2 ) in the x-direction would cause the water in the tank to begin spilling?
