Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

tank has ends in the shape of  the curve , so the height of the tank is given by .

              

             

At a height   from the bottom of the tank, the distance from the surface of water is  .

So,compute the pressure at height   from the bottom of the tank as .

Also compute area of an infinitesimally thin horizontal strip of thickness   on the end face of the tank located at height .
