Using soft as the anchor has become an acceptable alternative to <br /> concrete. <br /> • FIotation:potential is the diisplacement ofthe tank calculated by its volume in cubic feet. <br /> Line A: Ca#culate cubic feet of tank. <br /> /41 q 27g <br /> -Slinche�high x Vinches wide, x(7 inches long, = cubic inches. <br /> Divide this I"ber by 1728 to equal _cubic feet. <br /> Line B: Cert the displacement to the weight of water. <br /> (fr m line A)cubic fed x 62.4(weight of 1 cubic foot of-water) x L5(safety factor)_ <br /> q�ft. of lift potential. <br /> Line C: Niculate weight needed to counter buoyancy. <br /> L6 9�%lbs. splacemen `� lbst weight from fine B.)- .
