An open tank 1.82m square contains 1m of water. It is translated horizontally to the right at an acceleration of 3m/s2. a) How high should the tank be such that no water will be spilled? b) If the acceleration is now 5m/s2 and the height of the vessel is the answer in (a), how much water will be spilled? c) If the vessel is initially closed at the top and accelerated to the right at 5m/s2, what will be the hydrostatic force acting on the left side of the vessel?
