How many bushels of rice in a barge load?
The number of bushels of rice in a barge load can vary based on the size of the barge and the density of the rice. A typical barge can hold around 1,500 to 2,000 tons of cargo. Since one ton of rice is approximately 27 bushels, a barge could carry roughly 40,500 to 54,000 bushels of rice. However, these figures can vary depending on specific factors like the barge's dimensions and the moisture content of the rice.
A barge of size 60 x 20 x 5 feet is floating in fresh water what is the load borne by a crane to lift it out the water?
Not enough information to answer. Additional factors: * What material is the barge made of? * What construction method was used? * Is there a cover or is it an open barge? * Is there anything in it?
How does the direction of the grain affect the strenght of a place of timber?
The direction of the grain in timber significantly impacts the strength of the wood. Wood is strongest along the grain, so a piece of timber with the grain running parallel to the load will be stronger than if the grain runs perpendicular to the load. This is because the fibers in the wood provide more support and resistance to forces acting along the grain.
What is being transported by the barge?
The barge is typically used to transport bulk goods such as coal, grain, sand, or other heavy materials over waterways. It can also carry containers, vehicles, and sometimes even passengers, depending on its design and purpose. The specific cargo will vary based on the barge's route and the needs of the shipping industry at the time.
How much cargo can a 500 ton wooden barge hold that is 250 feet long and 70 feet wide and 18 feet deep?
Assuming that your barge weight was 500 long tons, lightship, and by 18 feet deep, you meant from the keel to the deck, you could theoretically load the barge with 8,439 metric tons, which would completely lower your deck to the waterline. If you wanted a draft of 9 feet then you could load 3,976 metric tons.
What is a barge master?
A barge master is a person who is in charge of transport on a barge.
Why timber used parallel to grain is stronger than perpendicular to the grain?
they resist stress and spread the load over the length of the board
What would be the cost of an entire load of a barge from Monterrey Mexico to the Port of Haiti?
It depends; Monterrey in Mexico is nowhere near the ocean; so you need to transport all that load from Monterrey to a city in the sea, such as Tampico.
A barge is 10.0 m wide and 60.0 m long and has vertical sides. It is floating in fresh water A load of 6.00 MN is placed on the barge. How much does its hull sink into the water?
6 MegaNewtons is the weight of (6 x 106 / 9.8) kilograms of water, equivalent toa volume of (6 x 106 / 9.8) liters of water, or (6,000/9.8) cubic meters of water.That's the additional displacement the barge has to achieve as soon as the load drops,in order to float with the additional weight.The added displacement is (10 x 60 x D) cubic meters, where 'D' is the added depth.(10 x 60 x D) = (6 x 103 / 9.8)D = 6 x 103 / (9.8 x 10 x 60)D = 1.02 meters (rounded)
What is the mass of a typical barge?
It could be argues that there is no "typical" barge. Barges range in size from small ones used on canals to large floating "tubs" that are filled with grain or other cargo. But, fortunately, our friends at Wikipedia have a "related" answer: a typical barge measures 195 feet by 35 feet (59.4 meters by 10.6 meters), and can carry up to 1500 tons of cargo. The light tonnage (empty weight) was not given, but this barge might weigh in the neighborhood of 650 tons. Need a link? You got it.
