Ahh that makes so much more sense. I was originally drawing the triangle from the base of the tank. The height of the triangle is the additional height that the water moves. Thanks so much!

Yes, but the water was originally 1.2m high so I thought it wasn't a proper answer. I guess the base of the triangle is on the surface of the water?

0.6m I did tan 26.6 x 1.2m.

I posted a reply with more information. I don't get what else you are specifically looking for?

I used components method. I took the inverse tangent of 0.5 (ratio of 4.9/9.8) to get 26.6 degrees or so. Using this angle I couldn't get any of the listed answers, so I used the complementary angle of 63.4. This allowed me to find the opposite side of the triangle (height) which was 2.4m...

Homework Statement Audrey McLaughlin has a vehicle with a built-in rectangular swimming pool. The pool is 2.4m long, 1.4m wide, and is partly filled with water to a constant depth of 1.2m as shown. Calculate the minimum additional height, h, to avoid water spillage when the vehicle maintains...
