A tank of square cross - section of each side l is filled with a liquid oh height h. Find the thrust experienced by the vertical and bottom of the tank

dear kumar gaurav,

thrust at the bottom is numerically equal to the normal force exerted,

and the thrust at each sides is numericall equal to the pressure at the mid point multiplied by the area,

i.e. at one of the four sides thrust = dg(l/2) * l²

where d= density of the liquid,

g = acc. due to gravity,

l= side (as given)
