The document presents three examples of fluid mechanics calculations involving pressure and acceleration in different scenarios. The first example calculates pressure in a rotating tank, the second calculates pressure at a depth in an upward-accelerated tank, and the third determines the acceleration needed to change the free surface of water in a tank. Each example provides detailed equations and solutions for the respective problems.

Example
An open tank of water is accelerated vertically upward at 4.5 m/s2.
Calculate the pressure at a depth of 1.5 m.

𝑝2 = −𝜌(𝑎𝑧 + 𝑔)(𝑧2 − 𝑧1 )

𝑝2 = −1000 ∗ (4.5 + 9.81) ∗ (−1.5)

Example
The tank shown in the following figure is accelerated to the right. Calculate the
acceleration (𝑎𝑥 ) needed to cause the free surface shown in the figure below to
touch point A. Also find (𝑝𝐵 ) , and the total force acting on the bottom of the
tank if the width is 1 m.
