Question

The three tanks shown above are filled with water to an equal depth. all the tanks have an equal height. tank a has the middle surface area at the bottom, tank b has the least and tank c has the greatest area at the bottom. (select t-true, f-false, g-greater than, l-less than, e-equal to. if the first is f the second l and the rest g, enter flgggg).

a) the total force exerted by the water on the bottom of tank b is ... the total force exerted by the water on the bottom of tank c

b) the pressure exerted on the bottom of tank b is smaller than for the other tanks.

c) the water in tank c exerts an upward component of force on the sides of the tank.

d) the pressure at the bottom of tank b is ... the pressure at the bottom of tank a

e) the air pressure right at the top surface of water in tank a is .... the air pressure right at the top surface of water in tank c

Explanation / Answer

a) the total force exerted by the water on the bottom of tank b is ... the total force exerted by the water on the bottom of tank c

lesser( force = pressure * area)

b) the pressure exerted on the bottom of tank b is smaller than for the other tanks.

false ( pressure exerted = density * g *depth) same for all tanks

c) the water in tank c exerts an upward component of force on the sides of the tank.

true

d) the pressure at the bottom of tank b is ... the pressure at the bottom of tank a

equal to

e) the air pressure right at the top surface of water in tank a is .... the air pressure right at the top surface of water in tank c

false...equal
