Consider a large rectangular tank of water open to the atmosphere, 10 ft deep, with walls of length 30 ft each. When the tank is filled to the top with water, calculate the force (in tons) exerted on the side of each wall in contact with the water. The tank is located at sea level.(Note: The specific weight of water is 62.4 lby/ft3, and 1 ton = 2000 lbf.) (Hint: Use the hydrostatic equation.)
