Given information
the density of the gasoline filled in the tank is and the tank is designed with ends in the shape of the region between the curves and .
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 .
