Physics: Calculate gauge pressure; tension in the cable
Not what you're looking for?
A storage tank of negligable mass and 30 m high is filled with gasoline.
a. calculate the gauge pressure and absolute pressure at the bottom of the tank.
b. the force that acts on a square access hatch at the bottom of the tank that measures 0.5 x 0.5 m. c. given that the tank is shaped like a right circular cylinder with height of 30 m and base radius of 10 m. the tank is attached to a steel cable of negligable mass and immersed in water. calculate the tension (force) in the cable before and after it is immersed in water.

Solution Summary
The expert calculates the gauge pressure, tension in the cable.
Solution Preview
a. Guage pressue p= d*g*h
d = density of gasoline = 720 kg/m^3
g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2
h = 30 m
Therefore,
p = 30*720*9.8 = 211680.0 Pa == 2.117*10^5 Pa --Answer
Absolute pressure,
P = Atmospheric pressure (Po) + Gauge pressure (p)
Po = 1.013*10^5 ...
