A barge floating in fresh water (ρ = 1000 kg/m3) is shaped like a hollow rectangular prism with base area A = 650 m2 and height H = 2.0 m. When empty the bottom of the barge is located H0 = 0.55 m below the surface of the water. When fully loaded with coal the bottom of the barge is located H1 = 1.8 m below the surface. Find the mass of the coal in terms of the given data.

A U-tube open at both ends is partially filled with water (Figure a). Oil having a density of 790 kg/m³ is then poured into the right arm and forms a column L = 5.18 cm high (Figure b). Shield Po FU h Water Oil a (a) Determine the difference h in the heights of the two liquid surfaces. cm (b) The right arm is then shielded from any air motion while air is blown across the top of the left arm until the surfaces of the two liquids are at the same height (Figure c). Determine the speed of the air being blown across the left arm. Take the density of air as 1.20 kg/m³. m/s
The density of ice is 917 kg/m^3, and the approximate density of the seawater in which an iceberg floats is 1025 kg/m^3. What fraction of the iceberg is beneath the water surface?
You place an open bottle filled with olive oil (density 880 kg/m^3) in a container filled with water so that the surfaces of both liquids are at the same level. The bottle has a hole in it 18cm below the surface that is initially closed with adhesive tape, as shown in (Figure 1). Determine the vertical distance Δh between the oil surface and water surface after the tape is removed and the equilibrium is reached. Assume that the volume of water is much greater than the volume of olive oil, so that the decrease in the water level is negligible.
