An atmospheric storage tank has a diameter of 20 m and a height of 8m.It is
half-full of liquid with the remainder of the space containing air normally at
atmospheric pressure.
If the connection to atmosphere is accidentally closed off and 10 cubic m of
liquid removed, what happens to the internal pressure of the tank?
What are the possible consequences for the tank?
