5.16 A buoy is to support a cone-shaped instrument package, as shown in Fig. 5.22. The buoy is made from a uniform material having a specific weight of 8.00 lb/ft'. At least 1.50 ft of the buoy must be above the surface of the seawa- ter for safety and visibility. Calculate the maximum allow- able weight of the instrument package.

5.9 A steel cube 100 mm on a side weighs 80 N. We want to
hold the cube in equilibrium under water by attaching a
light foam buoy to it. If the foam weighs 470 N/m, what
is the minimum required volume of the buoy?
5.10 A cylindrical drum is 2 ft in diameter, 3 ft long, and
weighs 30 lb when empty. Aluminum weights are to be
placed inside the drum to make it neutrally buoyant in
fresh water. What volume of aluminum will be required if
it weighs 0.100 lb/in'?
5.11 If the aluminum weights described
placed outside the drum, what volume will be required?
5.12 Figure 5.20 shows a cube floating in a fluid. Derive an
expression relating the submerged depth X, the specific
weight of the cube, and the specific weight of the fluid.
5.13 A hydrometer is a device for indicating the specific gravity
of liquids. Figure 5.21 shows the design for a hydrometer
in which the bottom part is a hollow cylinder with a
1.00-in diameter, and the top is a tube with a 0.25-in
diameter. The empty hydrometer weighs 0.020 lb. What
weight of steel balls should be added to make the
hydrometer float in the position shown in fresh water?
(Note that this is for a specific gravity of 1.00.)
5.14 For the hydrometer designed in Problem 5.13, what will
be the specific gravity of the fluid in which the hydrom-
eter would float at the top mark?
