    Calculating Water Force and Moment in a Fresh Water Storage Tank

    Hi Chester, Thanks for the info. To be totally honest this all pretty much new to me and will take me a day to comprehend the above. I understand the basic formula, but when it's come to algebraic terms and integration I'm lost. I've looked over my notes again and the only I can resolve which...

    Average Acceleration and Time Taken to accelerate

    Thanks. I think this was the answer I was looking for. The comments on the work said Velocities require to be in m/s. Was a simple case of converting km/h to m/s.

    Average Acceleration and Time Taken to accelerate

    Hi, I've been asked to solve below as part of an assignment. Below is pretty much what I've submitted but it has been concluded to be incorrect. I am unsure as to why hence the question. Is it due to the fact that I have not taken the mass or forces into consideration? I have only taken these...
