A vertical tank, square in plan with a side width of 3.5 m, contains an oil of specific gravity 0.9 up to a depth of 24 m. Calculate the total force (pressure force) at the bottom and at one lateral side of the tank.
- 1Pside = 115 kN, Pbottom = 125 kN
- 2Pside = 8.897 × 106 N, Pbottom = 2.593 × 106 N✓
- 3Pside = 100 kN, Pbottom = 250 kN
- 4Pside = 250 N, Pbottom = 60 N
Correct answer
Pside = 8.897 × 106 N, Pbottom = 2.593 × 106 N
