Problem 152P
A 5–m–long, 4–m–high tank contains 2.5–m–deep water when not in motion and is open to the atmosphere through a vent in the middle. The tank is now accelerated to the right on a level surface at 2 m/s2. Determine the maximum pressure in the tank relative to the atmospheric pressure.

Solution
Step 1 of 4
In the given problem, a tank of length L= 5m and height h=4 m which contains a water to a height of is open to atmosphere through a vent in the middle as shown in the figure below. We need to calculate the maximum pressure in tank relative to atmospheric pressure when the tank is accelerated at
to the right on the level surface as shown below,
