Question: A rectangular bulkhead is 9.5 m wide and 8 m deep. It is loaded on one side only with oil of specific gravity 0.81.
A rectangular bulkhead is 9.5 m wide and 8 m deep. It is loaded on one side only with oil of specific gravity 0.81. Calculate the load on the bulkhead to the nearest 0.1 kN if the oil is: a) just at the top of the bulkhead Number b) 3.5 m up the sounding pipe (above the top of the bulkhead) Load= Number 23
