Homework Statement
A steel pipeline carrying gas has an internal diameter of 120 cm and an external diameter of 125 cm. It is laid across the bed of a river, completely immersed in water and is anchored at intervals of 3 m along its length.
- Calculate the buoyancy force per meter run.
- Upward force on each anchorage.
Density of steel = 7900 kg/m3.
2. Equations used
Buoyancy Force = Weight of the displaced fluid volume
The Attempt at a Solution
I calculated that the buoyancy per unit length is (approximately), 1.204 x 104 N/m
But I don't see a way to find the answer to the second question. Can someone lead me in the right direction or show me how it's done?
