Question: The tank shown below is secured to a concrete slab by bolts and receives an organic liquid (sp. gr. 0.72) from a filler line which enters the tank 1 ft above the tank floor. The liquid enters at a rate of 4,500 gal/min. What are the forces exerted on the restraining bolts? Assume that the filler line transmits no force to the tank (due to expansion joints).
