Blue?

What are we talking about?

[Bufflehead]

How much weight will a 42" cylinder that is 5' long float before it sinks below the surface of the water.

[Olly]

Assuming it's a cylinder, 51.5lbs give or take.

Source: Google and doing some fucking math.

[aunt betty]

Assuming the barrel has zero weight it would take.~ 866 pounds to sink it.

[The Duck Hammer]

I may have done that wrong.

42"/12/2(pi^2)=17.27
17.27X5=86.36cubic feet
1 cubic foot floats approx 62.4lbs
86.36X62.4=5389lbs

Will float 5389lbs minus the weight of the tube before it sinks.

A cubic foot if water weighs 62.4 pounds. The radius is 1.666'
Square that.
Then times it by 5'

Whoops I read it as 42" long 5" in diameter. forget what I said.

[NuffDaddy]

Shit. Im way the fuck off. I missed a divide by 12 somewhere.

A=pi x r^2

[aunt betty]

It ain't 866. Lol
2720 pounds. I forgot to throw the pie in. D'oh.

[NuffDaddy]

Nope. My answer is close to right. I'd say about 5000lbs to stay on the safe side.

[NuffDaddy]

Ok. Scratch that again. It's 3000lbs

2 oz of buckshot

[Tiler_J]

What is the cylinder made of and is it hollow? Or is it a cylinder of solid steel? Is this a trick question? Will this be on the final?

Thanks for the help. So it is about 600 pounds per foot.



How many cubic feet per foot?

[aunt betty]

Yeah, how many holes?

What???????

It's plastic culvert pipe. I'm trying to figure out how much concrete it's going to take to sink it.

It will be standing on it's end, the bottom filled with concrete and will only have a few inches sticking up above the water. Similar to a small pit blind in a field but it will be in the middle of open water.

Sorry to bust your bubble but aren't sink boxes banned federally?

[JGUN]

You do know sink boxes are illegal in the states don't you?

How many cubic feet per foot?

Oh, I get it. Probably closer to 500 once you figure the weight of whatever your talking about.

About 9.5 cubic feet in every foot of length for the tube.

Make sure you're not standing in it when they pour the concrete. You putting that thing in Pamlico sound?

[jehler]

Not accounting for the weight of the tube itself
