am i right with this bouyant force calculation?

am i right with this bouyant force calculation?


RE: am i right with this bouyant force calculation?

(OP)
this guide does not seem to be the same formula for buoyant force on the pipe as what I have in my calculation.
it does not consider the depth of water just the weight of water displaced.

RE: am i right with this bouyant force calculation?

Your OP is incorrect. The buoyant force is applied to the same volume that you use for the weight. Since the density of the footing is more than that of water, it stays put.

(OP)
I'm having buoyant force mixed up with hydrostatic pressure.
Look at the force at the bottom of footing. It uses the depth of water in the formula.

Never mind I got it.

White Paper - Reshoring Prototyping and Production
In this whitepaper, we'll provide insight into why and when it makes sense for U.S. manufacturers to reshore prototyping and production, and how companies can leverage the benefits of working with local design, prototype, and manufacturing partners during the pandemic and beyond. Download Now
Engineering Report - Top 10 Defect Types in Production
This 22-page report from Instrumental identifies the most common production defect types discovered in 2020, showcases trends from 2019 to 2020, and provides insights on how to prevent potential downtime in 2021. Unlike other methods, Instrumental drives correlations between a variety of data sources to help engineers find and fix root causes. Download Now
White Paper - Addressing Tooling and Casting Requirements at the Design Stage
Several of the tooling and casting requirements of a part can be addressed at the design stage. If these requirements are not addressed at the design stage, lot of time is spent in design iteration when the design reaches the die caster. These design issues lead to increase in time and cost of production leading to delay in time to market and reduced profits for the organization. Download Now
