The figure below shows a tank used to collect rainwater having a diameter of 5 m. As shown in the figure, the depth of the tank varies linearly from 2.5 m at its center to 2 m along the perimeter. The local atmospheric pressure is 1 bar, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s, and the density of the water is 987.1 kg/m. Palm bar 5 m 2 m Tank 2.5 m When the tank is filled with water, determine: (a) the pressure, in kPa, at the bottom center of the tank. (b) the total force, in kN, acting on the bottom of the tank. Your answer is correct. Determine the pressure, in kPa, at the bottom center of the tank. Pc= 125.5 Hint kPa Your answer is incorrect. Determine the total force, in kN, acting on the bottom of the tank. The figure below shows a tank used to collect rainwater having a diameter of 5 m.
