Also..
At what depth does this thrust act?
How do these two results relate to certain properties of the associated
pressure diagram?
Thank You!

dF = P*dA
?dF =  ? P*dA, P = ?gh
F = ?g ? h*dA
dA, It depends on type of the tank.

Force, not thrust.

The force depends on the depth, with the maximum force at the 4 meter depth.
The average would be at 2 meters, and we can use that to calculate the total.

Pfluid = ?gh
  Pfluid is pressure in Pa or N/m²
  ? is the density of the fluid in kg/m³
  density of water at 20C = 0.998 g/cm³ = 998 kg/m³
  density of seawater = 1.025 g/cm³ = 1025 kg/m³
  g is the acceleration of gravity 9.8 m/s²
  h is the height of the fluid above the object in m

You can use the above to calculate the pressure at various depths.

And with the pressure and the area, you can calculate the force. But you don't have enough info to calculate area.
