Fish Tank A rectangular freshwater fish tank with base $2 \times 4 \mathrm{ft}$ and height 2 $\mathrm{ft}$ (interior dimensions) is filled to within 2 in. of the top. (a) Find the fluid force against each end of the tank. (b) Suppose the tank is sealed and stood on end (without spilling) so that one of the square ends is the base. What does that do to the fluid forces on the rectangular sides?
