The administration at work has come up with this plan to for a boat anchor for a dive boat. I think they picked a size that looks good without realizing how much it will weight, I am thinking it is going to be much to heavy. Does anyone know how I can figure the weight of this anchor before I build it and fill it with lead? A picture should be attatched.
It is designed to lower through the center of a dive boat, and I diver will use it as a search base, he will use the shaft as an axis for his search pattern. It has to be heavy enough to secure a boat and a diver, but still manegable.
Ok, I tried to attatch the drawing but it says the file is to large. Basically it is a box 20 inches square 10 inches high filled with lead. How much would it weigh. And how do I figure for a smaller box?
