(b) Consider two identical water tanks (20 m x 10 m x 10 m) filled with water. The depth of water in the first tank is 8 m and it is stationary. The depth of water in the second tank is 6 m and it is moving vertically downward with a constant acceleration of 3.3 m/s?. Which tank will have a higher pressure at the bottom? Now, the first tank is moving horizontally in the direction of its length with a constant acceleration of 2.4 m/s?. Determine the shape of the free surface and the total force on the base and vertical faces of this tank. What will happen if these tanks are completely filled with water?
