As shown in the illustration, a 6-m-wide, 15-m-long barge is filled with rocks and floats in water. Assume that the rocks' and barge's center of gravity, G, is positioned along the centerline at the barge's surface. What is the metacentric height in meters if the barge carrying the rocks weights 1,765.8 kN?
A wooden barge of rectangular cross-section is 8 m wide, 4 m high, and 16 m long. It is transporting in seawater (s 1.03) a total load of 1,500 kN including its own weight and cargo. If a weight of 75 kN (Included in the 1,500-kN) is shifted a distance of 2.5 m to one side, it will cause the barge to go down 450 mm in the wdge of immersion and also rise 450 mm in the corresponding wedge of emersion The barge floats vertically (on an even keel) before the shifting of the weight. Compute how far above the waterline is the center of gravity of the loaded barge. W = 1500 kN 4, D D/2 BF 8 m 25m 60 kN/m 75 kN 1425 k 0.45 4 m Bo o BF 3.42 m
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
As shown in the illustration, a 6-m-wide, 15-m-long barge is filled with rocks and floats in water. Assume that the rocks' and barge's center of gravity, G, is positioned along the centerline at the barge's surface. What is the metacentric height in meters if the barge carrying the rocks weights 1,765.8 kN? Only round off on the final answer, Use three decimal places.
A crane barge, 20 m long, 8 meters wide, and 12 meters high loaded at its center with a road roller weighing 20 short tons, floats on fresh water with a draft of 1.20 meters and has its center of gravity located along its vertical axis at a point 1.50 meters above its bottom. Compute the horizontal distance out to one side from the centerline of the barge through which the crane could swing the 20-ton load which it had lifted from the center of the deck, and tip the barge with 20-meter edge just touching the water surface.
Q5/ A composite block is made of two materials: The top half of the block is made of wood with a density of 6.87 kN/m³, and The bottom half is made of steel with a density of 78.5 kN/m². The block has overall dimensions of 4 mx2 mx 1 m and floats in water with a density of 9.81 kN/m². 1. Calculate the total weight of the block. 2. Determine the volume of water displaced. 3. Find the depth of submersion of the block. 4. Calculate the position of the center of buoyancy relative to the block's base.
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.

4.0 m السرو 4.0 m The raft is made of solid square Pinewood (density= 550 kg/m'). Determine whether the raft floats in water (density = 1000 kg/m) and if so, how much of the raft is beneath the water surface. Weight of raft 0.30 m Since the density of the raft (pinewood) is less than that of water, the raft foats. Q: A force of 250 N is applied to a hydraulic piston that is 0.01 m in diameter. If the piston which supports the load has a diameter of 0.10 m, approximately how much mas can be lifted? 250 N 0.01 m 0.10 m
