A trapezoid-shaped tank used to supply potable water to a small area which includes 8 villas (Figure 1). The tank bottom base is 3 m, while the top base is 5 m. The tank is partially submerged vertically in water so that the top is 1 m above the surface and the bottom is 3 m below the surface. Determine the total force exerted on the trapezoidal wall by the water.

Q1.
A trapezoid-shaped tank used to supply potable water to a small area which includes 8 villas (Figure 1).
The tank bottom base is 3 m, while the top base is 5 m. The tank is partially submerged vertically in water
so that the top is 1 m above the surface and the bottom is 3 m below the surface. Determine the total
force exerted on the trapezoidal wall by the water.

Water Supply and Distribution System
Design a storm water collection system with open channel for the discharge of rainwater from the area in
Figure 1. The channel should be trapezoidal in shape, lining with riprap to resist erosion by channel water.
Assume the maximum flow rate is 2.5 m/s. Determine the water velocity in the channel, the area and
dimensions, and the longitudinal slop.
