Problem 1(25 Pts)
Suppose that a rectangular tank, partly filled with liquid and open to the atmosphere, is subjected to a constant horizontal acceleration of \(2\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}^{2}\), as shown in the below figure. The width of the tank is 8 m . Determine the level of the gas-liquid interface in the moving tank, \( h(x)\), given that the level at rest is \( h_{0}=3\mathrm{~m}\). Also, calculate the maximum height of the gas-liquid interface in the moving tank. Assume that the gravity acceleration is \(10\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}^{2}\), the variations in the \( y \)-direction are neglected, and the center of the tank bottom is the point of the origin.
