For your science exhibit, you want to make a block of wood float at the interface between a layer of oil of unknown density Poil, and water (pwater = 1000 kg/m3 inside a container as shown. The density of the wood is pwood = 800 kg/m3. What must be the density of the oil so that only 30.0 % of the wood is submerged in water?
The conical-spherical dumbbell (made from a cone and a hemisphere) shown in the figure is floating in a liquid of specific gravity equal to 1.65 such that dumbbell's bottom hemisphere is submerged in the liquid. The bottom of the circular cone and the hemisphere have the same radius equal to R= 18 cm. Obtain the following when the cone has a height, h = 42 cm. (i) The buoyant force acting on the dumbbell (ii) The mass of the dumbbell (iii) The center of buoyancy SHOW ALL OF THE WORK WITH CLEAR AND NEAT WRITING IN STEP BY STEP FOR CREDIT
Consider a flatboat hull which carries cargo down a river. When fully loaded the craft weight 150 kN. How far will this boat sink into the water? (i.e., What is boat’s “displacement, D?”) Be sure to draw a free-body diagram that shows all external forces operating on the boat; also, show all relevant dimensions. Locate the center of buoyancy (ycb) from the bottom of the hull. If the metacenter (M) is located at 0.98 m from the bottom of the hull, is this boat stable?
A piece of steel wire, which is 3 m long, and of 1 mm diameter hangs vertically from the ceiling. A 5 kg mass, made from iron, (density = 7,9 x 103 kg.m-3 ) is attached to the free end. Find the tension in the wire when the mass is completely submerged in the water. (Density of water = 1 000 kg.m-3 )
The plastic block shown below measures l.5 m x/.S m x(.7 m and has a specific gravity of 0.38. The concrete block B (density = 2400 kg/m) is suspended from the corner of the plastic block by means of a cable and the plastic block is thus floating in the lake (T = 15°C) in the orientation shown. Determine the volume of the concrete block (units of liters) noting that it does not rest on the bottom of the lake, Neglect the weight and volume of the cable in your analysis. %3D %3D 1.7 m 0.5m Water Cable B
(a) A rectangular, fully enclosed tank 2.4m long, 1.4m wide and 0.8m high is constructed of sheet metal weighing 443.6 kg-f (force). The tank floats in sea water of density 1025kg/m³ with its 0.8m sides vertical. If the centre of gravity is at the geometric centre of the vessel, calculate the metacentric height and comment on the stability of the tank. (b) A hydrometer is an instrument used for measuring the relative density of liquids based on the concept of buoyancy. A particular hydrometer is 80 cm in length.

A solid cylinder (SG = 0.6) of diameter 4 meters has a height of 3 meters. Find metacentric height for cylinder when it floats in water with axis vertical. Use density of water equal 1000 kg/m3. Tip: Second moment of area for circle about center of water line point O (Io) is equal to πd^4/64.
The two sides of a V-shaped water trough are hinged to each other at the bottom where they meet, as shown in the figure, making an angle of 45° with the ground from both sides. Each side is 0.75 m wide, and the two parts are held together by a cable and turnbuckle placed every 8 m along the length of the trough. Calculate the tension in each cable when the trough is filled to the rim. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m³. 0.75 m 45° 45° -Hinge The tension in each cable is Cable N.
A cubical buoy (2 m each side) weighs 687N and is anchored to the sea floor with a cable. The buoy normally floats on the surface. At certain times the water depth increases so that the buoy is completely immersed as shown in the figure. For this condition, what is the tension of the cable?
The hemispherical body (r=0.6m ) projects into a tank. Find the horizontal and vertical forces acting on the hemispherical projection for the following cases: (a) the tank is full of water with the free surface 1.5m above A; (6) the tank contains CCl, ( s=1.59) to the level of A overlain with water having its free surface 1.5m above A; (c) the tank is closed and contains Exercise 3 only gas at a pressure of 41368 N/m²;
The submerged brick in the figure below is balanced by a 2.54 - kg mass on the beam scale. What is the specific weight of the brick, if it displaces 2.197 liters water? 2.54kg
A ship of displacement 36000 tonne carries oil fuel in four tanks 16.0 m long and 6.0 m broad, the tanks arranged with their length in the fore and aft direction. The specific gravity of the oil is 0.84, and the density of seawater inwhich the ship is floating is 1020 kgm-3. For a ship of this size, the metacentric height is at least 500 mm. What is the reduction of the metacentric height of the ship because of the oil that is contained in the tanks and how serious is this reduction? Please discuss further your conclusions.
