The figure shows two fish tank, each having ends of width 1 foot. Tank A is 3 feet long while tank B is 6 feet long. Both tanks are filled with 1 foot of water.
S A = the magnitude of the force of the water on the end of tank A
S B = the magnitude of the force of the water on the end of tank B
B A = the magnitude of the force of the water on the bottom of tank A
B B = the magnitude of the force of the water on the bottom of tank B Using the notation given above, Which one of the following sets of equations below is correct for this situation?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
S A = ( ρ gh) A S B = ( ρ gh) (1ft 2 )
S A = ( ρ gh) (1ft 2 ) B B = ( ρ gh) (6ft 2 )
B A = ρ gh (3ft 2 )
S A = S B ; B B = 2B A
