constant acceleration of 4.8 m/s2. The size of the tank is 7 m, and the depth is
1.5 m. If the tank is open at the top, then calculate the maximum pressure
intensity at the bottom.

Answer: A [ 3.15 N/cm2 ]
Description:
tanθ=a/g
tanθ=4.8/9.8
θ=26.07⁰
h= d+(L/2)tanθ
= 1.5+3.5tan26.07
= 3.21 m
p=ρ*g*h
=3.15 N/cm2.

Answer: B [ 1.07 MN ]
Description:
tanθ=a/g
tanθ=4.5/9.8
θ=24.64⁰
h= d+(L/2)tanθ
= 2.5+3.5tan24.64
= 4.1 m
F=wAĥ
=9810*2.68*4.1
= 1.07 MN.
3) A tank containing water upto a depth of 650 mm is stationary. Find the force
exerted by the fluid of specific gravity .55 on the side of the tank. The width of
the tank is 1.5m
3419.4N
1709.9 N
1367.75 N
6838.8 N

Answer: B [ 1709.9 N ]
Description:
p=ρ*g*h
=550*9.81*0.65
=3507 N/m2
F=wAĥ
= 0.5*0.65*3507*1.5
= 1709.7N.
5) In a stationary fluid, how does the local pressure of the liquid vary?
Description: According to Pascal's law, a fluid's local pressure is the same in all
directions. Hence, the pressure won't vary along the x and y-direction. The local
pressure will increase with an increase in depth due to the water column's extra
weight above that point.
6) Which of the following cannot be the value of a fluid's absolute pressure at any
point?
1.013 bar
0
200 bar
- 1 bar
Hide Answer Workspace
Answer: D [ - 1 bar ]
Description: Absolute zero pressure is the reference used for the measurement of
absolute pressure. Absolute zero pressure is possible (theoretically). Hence, 0 and
positive values are possible, but a negative value is impossible
