The tank on the truck shown in Figure 1 is completely filled with gasoline,which has a specific weight of 9asatine = 6.60 kN/m. The truck is decelerating at a rate of 3.05 m/s2. If the tank on the trailer is 6.1 m in length and if the pressure at the top rear end of the tank is atmospheric (p = 0 as shown in the figure), what is the pressure at the top front? If the tank is 1.83 m in height, what is the maximum pressure in the tank? p= 0 1.83 m -6.1 m- Figure 1: Truck with liquid tank.
