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,
Determine the weight of coal which the bunker would
contain when completely filled. Coal has a specific weight of
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.
