(a) Define and explain using sketches, metacentric height, stable and unstable equilibrium and explain their significance in relation to floating objects. (b) A cylindrical buoy 1.8 m in diameter, 1.2 m high and weighing 10kN floats in salt water of density 1025kg m³. If a load of 2kN is placed on the top, find the depth to which the combined object will be submerged.

A rectangular, fully enclosed tank 2.85m long, 1.85m wide and 0.8m high is constructed of sheet metal weighing 340N/m2. 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.

A funnel in the shape of a cone having an area of base 0.093 sq. m and an altitude of 0.30 m, has a small hole at the vertex. If the base rests on the perfectly smooth platform of a scale and in this inverted position the funnel is filled with water, what downward force must be exerted upon it to maintain equilibrium and prevent the escape of water between the base of the funnel and the platform of the scale? Neglect the weight of the funnel.a. 128.74 Nb. 182.74 Nc. 128.47 Nd. 182. 47 Ne. none of the aboveThen, what is the least scale reading possible under these conditions?a. 89.65 Nb. 91.24 Nc. 95.63 Nd. 150.68 Ne. none of the above
