Rectangular Tank Analysis

The document provides a preliminary analysis of the dimensions and structural requirements of a rectangular etching tank. It specifies the tank's length, width, height, material properties, and calculates ratios used in the analysis. It then performs separate analyses of the longer and shorter sides of the tank to determine required plate thicknesses and load values, concluding it would be easier to fabricate the entire tank with a uniform thickness of 5mm.
