Hydraulics: Rotating Vessel Closed - Concept and Example

A closed cylindrical tank having a radius of 0.60 m and a height of 4 m is full of water under a pressure of 196.20 kPa. The wall of the tank is 5 mm thick. The tank is rotated about its axis at 200 rpm. 1. Which of the following most nearly gives the total force on the top of the tank? 2. Which of the following most nearly gives the total force on the wall of the tank? 3. Which of the following most nearly gives the maximum hoop stress on the wall of the tank?
