You were hired to design the foundations of an oil tank. The tank is cylindrical, with an internal diameter of 10 meters and a height of 5 meters. The tank walls, top, and bottom are made of 40 mm thick steel. The specific gravity of oil is 0.8. The density of steel is 7850 kg/m3. What is the total load (force) in kN that the foundations of the tank need to support?
