No it's not homework, so this is not to assist me with a qualification. I am interested in naval architecture and have a hobby on the side,where I...
Normally you would added the two second moment of area together, but in this case it is a bit different. One of the tanks is empty and the other...
I'm an amateur trying to learn about naval architecture and I'd appreciate your help.
Hi Heimfried I've looked at the question and it was definitely the same as in the book. The book is Solving Problems in Fluid Mechanics Volume 1...
