“…While most experimenters indicate the size of the tank they are using, the size of the load applied during the Young's modulus measurement is never provided except by Kavanagh et al [16]. In the literature, the minimum size of the tank ranges from 8.6 cm [16] to 80 cm [6], which means that the maximum size of the applied load should be less than 0.4 cm for the smallest tanks and less than 3.8 cm for the largest. We provide a solution to this problem as from our results, it is possible to derive a correction factor to be applied to the value derived using the analytical formula in order to take into account the actual size of the tank (Fig.…”
