A 36 in diameter (OD) PVC sewer pipe must be submerged below a river for a distance of 500 ft. The PVC pipe weighs 36.1 pounds per foot of length. Determine the minimum uniform thickness (in) of concrete (150 lbs/ft^3) required around the exterior of the PVC pipe to prevent the empty pipe from floating.
