delivers water to a cistern at his house using a 525 -gallon tank (like the one below) strapped down to a flatbed double-axle trailer. The height of the tank (consider just to the round part, not the part with the lid) is 4.0ft. a) Assuming that the tank is full and sitting directly over the two axles of the trailer, how much water weight (in lb) is each axle supporting? b) What is the pressure (in psi) along the bottom (centerline front to back) of the tank when it is full? c) How does the pressure distribution along the end face of the tank, from the base (e.g., by the black drain in the picture below) to the top of the tank, compare to the pressure distribution along one of the 'legs' from the base to the top of the tank? Why? Answer in a couple of complete sentences.
