Problem A9:
Consider the tank containing a strange fluid shown below. The fluid
has a depth h. The pressure
at the surface of the fluid is P0, and increases with
depth x according to the following formula:
P = P0(1+n2(x/h)n1).
What is the net force on the whole side of the tank? If the net force
is F = n3 P0Lh, what is n3? Note that
all integers are unitless.
