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?
The gate shown in the figure is hinged at A and rests on a smooth floor at B. The gate is a square in shape with 3m x 3m in dimension, while it is submerged in oil (SG = 0.82) as shown. The air above the oil surface is under a pressure of 7KPa. If the gate weighs 5 KN, determine the vertical force "T" required to open the gate. (Notes: Hydrostatic force "F" is always perpendicular to the plane surface. Also, the h ̅ is the pressure head located at the center of gravity of the object, which means, what will be the height of the oil if I am going to convert the pressure at the top into oil)
3. An opening in a dam is covered with a plate of 2 m square and is hinged on the top and inclined at 60° to the horizontal.

The plate weight is 2200 N. I Chain 1 m 45 Hinge Gate 60°
Water Hinge If R=0.88 m and h=3.8 m, calculate the value of the force F needed to maintain the gate as shown in the figure. The width of the gate is b31 m into the page. Neglect the weight of the gate. Your answer should be in kN. Answer:
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?
