Answer:

F = 351×10³lb

Explanation:

Given the density

ρg = 64.6lb/ft³

Diameter d = 12ft

The tank is horizontally cylindrical. The vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the tank is h = 12ft

The pressure in the tank is

P = ρgh = 64.6 × 12 = 775.2lb/ft²

The force exerted on one end of the tank is therefore F = PA = 775.2 × πd² = 775.2π×12²

F = 351×10³lb.
