e. As it is being transported downwards in an elevator, someone accidentally presses the emergency stop button, such that the elevator comes to rest with a deceleration of magnitude 2g, where the gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s2 . Calculate the pressure difference between the bottom and the surface of the tank.

Answer:

3270 N/m^2

Explanation:

we can calculate the pressure difference between the bottom and surface of the tank by applying the equation for the net vertical pressure

Py = - Ph ( g ± a )

for a downward movement

Py = - Ph ( g - a )  ------ ( 1 )

From the above data given will  be

p = 1000 kg/m^3, h = 2/3 * 0.5 = 0.33 m , a =2g , g = 9.81

input values into equation 1  becomes

Py =  -Ph ( g - 2g ) = Phg ------ ( 3 )

Py = 1000 * 0.33 * 9.81

    = 3270 N/m^2
