A cylindrical container has a diameter of 0.4 m and contains kerosene to a depth of 0.6 m. The temperature of the kerosene is 20◦C. If the container, with its long axis oriented vertically, is placed on the floor of a delivery elevator that ascends with an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2 , what is the pressure in the fluid on the bottom of the container? What force does the container exert on the floor of the elevator? Assume that the mass of the container is negligible compared with that of the kerosene.
