The weight of the cylindrical tank is negligible in comparison to the weight of water it contains (water weighs 9.81 kN/m³). The coefficient of static friction between the tank and the horizontal surface is ?s.

? Assuming a full tank, find the smallest force P required to tip the tank.
? Find the smallest coefficient of static friction ?s that would allow tipping to take place.
? If the force P = 6.5 kN initiates tipping, determine the depth of water in the tank.
