Buoyancy depends on the density of the gas or liquid in which an object is submersed and the volume of the object, because the upward force is equal to the weight of the gas or liquid that the object disperses. If you disregard the volume of the container itself, the upward force on such a container completely submerged in pure water would be the weight of 55 gallons of water, which is about 459 pounds.
None, since there can be no conversion.A gallon is a measure of volume in 3-dimensional space while a square foot is a measure of area in 2-dimensional space. The two measure different characteristics and, according to the most basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at comparisons or conversions between the two are fundamentally flawed.
114 Assumptions: -The containers can be stacked two high (not all containers/materials are safe to stack) and three across (don't need a large amount of bracing/padding between drums). This would still leave room for them to sit on a pallet. So 2 high x 3 across x 19 deep=114. -40 foot container interior dimensions of Interior Dimensions (in feet): 39’ 6” long x 7’ 9” wide x 7’ 10” high (source icontainers dot com. -On average, an open head 55 gallon steel drum can have the following dimensions: 22 ½” inside diameter, 33 ½” inside height, 23” or 24” outside diameter, and 34 ¾” or 34.5” outside height (source bascousa dot com.
The geometric mean of 22 and 55 is 34.7850542619
The angle opposite the 55 degree angle will also be 55 degrees. The other two angles will each measure 180 - 55 = 125 degrees.
