The problem involves a cylindrical vessel filled with water to a height of 10 m, where the thrust on the curved surface is stated to be equal to that at the bottom. Participants are tasked with determining the radius of the vessel based on this information and given multiple-choice options.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the meaning of thrust in relation to the cylindrical vessel. Some guidance has been offered regarding the interpretation of forces, but no consensus has been reached on how to proceed with the calculations.
Participants note the lack of attempts from the original poster, which may indicate uncertainty in understanding the problem setup. There is also mention of the assumption that the cylinder is upright, which may influence the interpretation of forces acting on it.
This may be a key to help you find their relation. Can you get any idea from this information?Pyrus said:It is found that the thrust acting on the curved surface is equal to that at the bottom.
Since you have posted no attempt, I assume you are stuck on interpreting the question.Pyrus said:Homework Statement
A large cylindrical vessel contains water to a height of 10 m. It is found that the thrust acting on the curved surface is equal to that at the bottom. If atmospheric pressure can support a water column of 10 m, the radius of the vessel is:-
(a) 10 m (b) 15m (c) 5 m (d) 25 m
