Question
The suspension bunker is made from plates which are curved to the natural shape which a completely flexible membrane would take if subjected to a full load of coal. This curve may be approximated by a parabola, y = \(0.2x^{2}\). Determine the weight of coal which the bunker would contain when completely filled. Coal has a specific weight of \(\gamma=50 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\), and assume there is a 20% loss in volume due to air voids. Solve the problem by integration to determine the cross-sectional area of ABC; then use the second theorem of Pappus–Guldinus to find the volume
