Question 1
A vertical cylindrical tank filled with water has a base area of 3 m². Calculate the force acting on the bottom (+z) plane if the water exerts a pressure of 100 kPa.
💡 Hint: Use the basic formula for pressure force calculation.
Question 2
For a hollow cylinder with an inner radius of 1 m and outer radius of 1.5 m, derive the expression for the total force on the top surface if σ varies linearly from the center to the outer edge.
💡 Hint: Set the limits for integration accordingly based on the radii.
