Even after you see it, it is still hard to believe!
Water Bridge in Germany . What a feat!

Six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long.......now this is engineering!

This is a channel-bridge over the River Elbe and joins the former East and West Germany ,
as part of the unification project. It is located in the city of Magdeburg , near Berlin .

The photo was taken on the day of inauguration.

To those who appreciate engineering projects, here's a puzzle for you armchair engineers and physicists.

Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge traffic, or just the weight of the water?

Hey all you engineers –Answer this question.

I will post the answer on another thread in one hour. Let’s see how many get it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the above ans is relevant due to the water constantly flowing

now the real question should be;

if you have a big water tub, and then hhhmmm charlize theron say

It's been posted before on QL with the answer so it was not about taking a chance, there was no chance of getting it wrong. It was about not ruining the fun for those who didn't read the earlier thread and letting them exercise their brain.

Answer: It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water!

Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded.
