Question 1(25%)
A rectangular water reservoir has a cylindrical cone sealed at an opening in its wall with air pressure
above it (see Figure 1). The cone has a radius of R=0.6m and extends to a depth of 5 meters into
the reservoir.
a. Calculate the total horizontal force acting on the cone (magnitude and direction).(10 points)
b. Calculate the vertical force acting on the cone (magnitude and direction).(5 points)
c. Calculate the force due to water acting on the left wall of the reservoir (magnitude only).

Data:
=1000kgm3
=0.001kgm*s
Volume of the cone:
V=R2H3
Where H is the height of the cone and R is the radius.
