A collision bulkhead is triangular in shape. Its maximum breadth is 12m and its high 15m. Find the thrust experienced by it if the fore peak tank is pressed up to a head of 3m of SW.
Solution :
Breadth of collision bulkhead = 12m
Height = 15m
Pressure = (depth x density)
Thrust = (pressure x area)
Breadth = 12m
Height of the water inside the tank = 15m
Water pressed up to ahead of = 3m
‘C’ inside the tank = (1/3 x15)
= 5 m
Outside the tank = 3m
so total =5 + 3 =8m
Now pressure =(depth x density)
=( 8 x 1.025)
Area = (1/2 x 12 x15)
= 90m2
Thrust experienced = (pressure x area)
= (90 x 8 x 1.025)
=738t.
