Total Force Exerted at Any Section on Container Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Force on Cylinder = 0.5*Specific Weight of Liquid*Width of Section*Height of Crack^2
F_C = 0.5*y*B*h^2
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Force on Cylinder - (Measured in Newton) - Force on Cylinder is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity.
Specific Weight of Liquid - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - The Specific weight of liquid is also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of the liquid. For Example - Specific weight of water on Earth at 4°C is 9.807 kN/m3 or 62.43 lbf/ft3.
Width of Section - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Section is the width of the rectangular cross-section of the beam parallel to the axis in consideration.
Height of Crack - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Crack is the size of a flaw or crack in a material that can lead to catastrophic failure under a given stress.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Weight of Liquid: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Width of Section: 100 Millimeter --> 0.1 Meter (Check conversion here)
Height of Crack: 12000 Millimeter --> 12 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_C = 0.5*y*B*h^2 --> 0.5*9810*0.1*12^2

Evaluating ... ...

F_C = 70632

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

70632 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

70632 Newton <-- Force on Cylinder

< 11 Liquid Containers Subjected To Constant Horizontal Acceleration Calculators

Width of Tank Perpendicular to Motion given Total Force Exerted at Any Section of Tank

Go Width of Section = 2*Force on Cylinder/(Specific Weight of Liquid*Height of Crack*Height of Crack)

Specific Weight of Liquid given Total Force exerted at any Section of Container

Go Specific Weight of Liquid = 2*Force on Cylinder/(Width of Section*Height of Crack*Height of Crack)

Vertical Depth below Free Surface given Total Force exerted at any Section of Container

Go Height of Crack = sqrt(2*Force on Cylinder/Specific Weight of Liquid*Width of Section)

Pressure at Any Points in Liquid

Go Absolute Pressure for Both Direction = Atmospheric Pressure+Specific Weight of Liquid*Height of Crack

Total Force Exerted at Any Section on Container

Go Force on Cylinder = 0.5*Specific Weight of Liquid*Width of Section*Height of Crack^2

Angle of Inclination of Free Surface

Go Angle of Inclination = arctan(Constant Horizontal Acceleration/[g])

Constant Horizontal Acceleration given Angle of Inclination of Free Surface

Go Constant Horizontal Acceleration = tan(Angle of Inclination)*[g]

Constant Horizontal Acceleration given Slope of Surface of Constant Pressure

Go Constant Horizontal Acceleration = Slope of Surface of Constant Pressure*[g]

Vertical Depth below Surface for Gauge Pressure at any point in Liquid

Go Height of Crack = Gauge Pressure for Horizontal/Specific Weight of Liquid

Specific Weight of liquid for Gauge Pressure at point in liquid

Go Specific Weight of Liquid = Gauge Pressure for Horizontal/Height of Crack

Gauge Pressure at Any Point in Liquid with Height

Go Gauge Pressure for Horizontal = Specific Weight of Liquid*Height of Crack

Total Force Exerted at Any Section on Container Formula

Force on Cylinder = 0.5*Specific Weight of Liquid*Width of Section*Height of Crack^2
F_C = 0.5*y*B*h^2

What is Force?

A Force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.
