Suppose the gasoline tanker truck described in Problem 5.57 has hemispherical end caps. Calculate the total hydrostatic force on one of the end caps when the truck is at rest.
Problem 5.57
For hot water tanks with the designs shown in Figure P5.35, calculate the total hydrostatic force on the base of tank B given that the water temperature is 50°C and the radius of the hemispherical base is 25 cm. Will the total hydrostatic force on the base of tank A be higher or lower than that for tank B? Why?
