A closed rectangular tank 1.2 m high, 2.4 m long and 1.5 m wideis two-thirds full of gasoline (specic gravity 0.8). Calculate theacceleration which may be imparted to the tank so that the bottomfront end of the tank is just exposed. Also calculate the totalforces on each end of the tank and show that the dierence betweenthese forces equals the unbalanced force necessary to acceleratethe liquid mass in the tank.
