    Angle Crane
AI Thread Summary
The angle of heel refers to the degree to which a barge is inclined from an upright position. It is typically measured rather than calculated, often using an inclinometer installed on the vessel. Barges equipped with cranes are expected to have this measuring device to ensure stability. Accurate measurement of the angle of heel is crucial for safe operations. Understanding this concept is essential for effective barge management and safety protocols.

Can anyone tell what the angle of heel means?
(how to calculate it in a barge with a crane)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
That's how far from upright the barge is inclined. You don't calculate it, you measure it. Most ships have an inclinometer on them and I'd think a barge with a crane on it would have one too. http://www.riekerinc.com/

Thread ''splain this hydrostatic paradox in tiny words'

This is (ostensibly) not a trick shot or video*. The scale was balanced before any blue water was added. 550mL of blue water was added to the left side. only 60mL of water needed to be added to the right side to re-balance the scale. Apparently, the scale will balance when the height of the two columns is equal. The left side of the scale only feels the weight of the column above the lower "tail" of the funnel (i.e. 60mL). So where does the weight of the remaining (550-60=) 490mL go...

Thread 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Coulomb gauge implies instantaneous radial electric field?'

Scalar and vector potentials in Coulomb gauge Assume Coulomb gauge so that $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A}=0.\tag{1}$$ The scalar potential ##\phi## is described by Poisson's equation $$\nabla^2 \phi = -\frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}\tag{2}$$ which has the instantaneous general solution given by $$\phi(\mathbf{r},t)=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\int \frac{\rho(\mathbf{r}',t)}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r}'|}d^3r'.\tag{3}$$ In Coulomb gauge the vector potential ##\mathbf{A}## is given by...
