Thanks. And when I say "buffet" it is like what your pic is of sideboard. Looks like I probably don't have a worry. Think I would have liked being a structural engineer. The stuff you work with is really interesting. Thanks again.
Ok, guys. I was at the house this weekend and took a look at the structure of the floor. The joists under the kitchen where we are planning on putting the heavy buffet are I-beam type. I think they are called TJI type joinsts. They are 16" tall and are spaced 16" on center. They also run...

I would like to ask a few questions about fluid pressure dynamics.
In a closed system, would a higher altitude increase or decrease the pressure of the fluid in the system?
If you had 2 different systems of fluid at the higher elevation how would the density of the fluid affect the pressure...
