Answer:
The answer to the question is 514.17 lbf
Explanation:
Volume of cylindrical tank = πr²h = 3.92699 ft³
Weight of tank = 125 lb
Specific weight of content = 66.4 lb/ft³
Mass of content = 66.4×3.92699 = 260.752 lb
Total mass = 260.752 + 125 = 385.75 lb = 174.97 kg
=Weight = mass * acceleration = 174.97 *9.81 = 1716.497 N
To have an acceleration of 10.7 ft/s² = 3.261 m/s²
we have F = m*a = 174.97*(9.81+3.261) = 2287.15 N = 514.17 lbf
