Answer:
The first tank has a higher pressure at the bottom because it has more depth
Explanation:
height of first tank = 8 m
height of second tank = 2 m
acceleration of second tank = 3.5 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
first calculate the pressure of the first tank :
pressure = pgh --- equation 1
where p = 1000 (pressure constant)
g = 9.81 ( acceleration due to gravity )
h = height
back to equation 1
pressure = 1000 * 9.81 * 8 = 78480 N/[tex]m^{2}[/tex]
for the second tank
using equation 1
pressure = pgh
g = 9.91 + 3.5
h = 2 m
since the second tank has an acceleration we have to add it to the acceleration due to gravity so
pressure = 1000 * ( 9.81 + 3.5 ) * 2
= 1000 * 13.31 * 2
= 26620 N/[tex]m^{2}[/tex]
