(a) A rectangular, fully enclosed tank 2.4m long, 1.4m wide and 0.8m high is constructed of sheet metal weighing 443.6 kg-f (force). 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. (b) A hydrometer is an instrument used for measuring the relative density of liquids based on the concept of buoyancy. A particular hydrometer is 80 cm in length. When placed in pure water, 50cm of the hydrometer is submerged and it reads 1.000 as shown in Figure 1. i) Calculate the density of the hydrometer? ii) When placed in Alcohol, 65 cm of the hydrometer is submerged beneath the alcohol. Calculate the density of alcohol? iii) Determine the reading of the hydrometer when it is in the alcohol? iy What will happen when this hydrometer place in Pentane (p-625 kgm): Fluid surface 1.00 Hydrometer- 80 cm 50cm Figure 1: A hydrometer
An average adult has a mass of 81 kg, knowing that the average human density is very close to that of fresh water (1,000 kg/m3), (a) Calculate the buoyant force exerted by fresh water on that person. (b) If this adult jumped in a tank filled with Glycerine (sg = 1.263) what will be the percentage of the submerged volume below the surface?
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?
The bottom of a steel "boat" is a 7 m ✕ 8 m ✕ 4 cm piece of steel (ρsteel = 7900 kg/m3). The sides are made of 0.480 cm thick steel. What minimum height must the sides have for this boat to float in perfectly calm water? The side height should not include the thickness of the bottom. (Answer in cm, thanks)

We calculated the mass of water in a large reservoir. We will now consider the pressure and force acting on the dam retaining water. The dam is 500 m wide, and the water is 80.0 m deep at the dam. (a) What is the average pressure on the dam due to the water? (b) Calculate the force exerted against the dam and compare it with the weight of water in the dam (previously found to be 1.96X10 N).
A tidal barrage is in the shape of a quarter cylinder of radius r=16m, as shown in the picture above. If the barrage is 13m wide and holds back water of density 1014kg/m³ to its full height, what is the magnitude of the vertical force on the barrage? Assume that the atmospheric pressure is constant. Give your answer in Kilo Newtons to the nearest whole number. Use an acceleration due to gravity of g=9.81m/s²
A person wearing long snowshoes can walk across a blanket of freshly fallen snow without sinking far into the snow because (p.s. Google snowshoe if you don't know how one looks like) snowshoes cover a larger area than a foot and so the pressure is reduced. the snowshoes reduce the force of the person on the snow. the large area of the snowshoe concentrates the force of the person to a point smaller than the foot. snowshoes push less dense snow out of the way so the person stands on more solid ice below
