An open tank containing oil ( sp. gr. = 0.8) is moving vertically. Determine the pressure 3 m below the surface if the motion is
(a) upward with constant velocity, (b) upward with an acceleration of 8 m/s
2
, (c ) upward with a deceleration of 8 m/s
2
, (d)
downward with an acceleration of 8 m/s
2

Solution
The pressure at any depth “h” is
p = 9.81(0.8)(3)
(a) When velocity is constant , a = 0
p = 23.544 kPa
(b) For accelerating upward motion (use “+” with a = + 8 m/s
2 )
p = 42.744 kPa
p = γh ( 1 ±

p = 9.81(0.8)(3)( 1 +
(c) For decelerating upward motion (use “+” with a = - 8 m/s

p = 9.81(0.8)(3)( 1 +
(d) For accelerating downward motion (use “-” with a = + 8 m/s

)
p = 4.344 kPa
p = 9.81(0.8)(3)( 1 −
(e) For decelerating downward motion (use “-” with a = - 8 m/s
