A Large Tank Is Designed with Ends in the Shape $y = \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 2 }$

question 53

Short Answer

A large tank is designed with ends in the shape of the region between the curves $y = \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 2 }$ and $y = 15$ , measured in feet. Find the hydrostatic force on one end of the tank if it is filled to a depth of $9 \mathrm { ft }$ with gasoline. (Assume that the density of the gasoline is $42.0 \mathrm { lb } / \mathrm { ft } ^ { 3 }$ .)
