Watr fou Problem 3. A 50-foot diameter circular water tank exerts a pressure q-2500psf at the ground surface. Calculate the increase in vertical stress at points A and B due to the pressure appli...
The figure shows a cylindrical tank of 80 em in diameter which is fully filled with water. In order to increase the flow from the tank to the exit pipe on the left, an additional pressure is applied to the water surface by an air compressor to supply air to the upper air chamber of the tank. The external walls of the tank are exposed to the atmospheric conditions of the area. You are required to determine the hydrostatic conditions...
