Answer:
Certainly! Let's calculate the values.
(a) Hydrostatic pressure on the bottom (\( P \)):
\[ P = 62.5 \, \text{lb/ft}^3 \cdot 32.2 \, \text{ft/s}^2 \cdot 4 \, \text{ft} \]
\[ P \approx 8000 \, \text{lb/ft}^2 \]
(b) Hydrostatic force on the bottom (\( F \)):
\[ F = P \cdot (6 \, \text{ft} \cdot 4 \, \text{ft}) \]
\[ F \approx 8000 \, \text{lb/ft}^2 \cdot 24 \, \text{ft}^2 \]
\[ F \approx 192,000 \, \text{lb} \]
(c) Hydrostatic force on one end (\( F' \)):
\[ F' = P \cdot (6 \, \text{ft} \cdot 4 \, \text{ft}) \]
\[ F' \approx 8000 \, \text{lb/ft}^2 \cdot 24 \, \text{ft}^2 \]
\[ F' \approx 192,000 \, \text{lb} \]
So, the hydrostatic pressure on the bottom is approximately \( 8000 \, \text{lb/ft}^2 \), and both the hydrostatic force on the bottom and on one end are approximately 192,000 lb.
