A pontoon boat floats on two cylindrical pontoons (assume the ends are flat). Each pontoon is 6m long. The mass of the boat, pontoons, and gear (without any passengers) is 1950 kg. What is the required diameter of the pontoons such that exactly half of the pontoons are submerged when no passengers are on the boat? The density of freshwater is 1000 kg/m3.

Two spheres, one heavier and weighing12000 N and of diameter 1.2 m and the other lighter and weighing 4000 N, are tied with a rope and placed in seawater. The density of sea water is 1025 kg/m^3. It was found that the spheres floated vertically with the lighter sphere just under the water surface. Illustrate the problem before answering the following questions: (a) Determine the diameter of the lighter sphere in meters. (b) Determine the tension in the rope in Newtons. Please answer this with diagram PLEASE. ASAP po.
Question 3 3.1 A rectangular pontoon has a mass of 120 x 103 kg and floats in sea water, see figure 3.The pontoon has a length of 18m and width of 7.5m.The vertical sides of the pontoon are 2.5m high.The mass density of sea water is 1 025 kg/m3.Find the metacentric height of the pontoon and specify whether it floats stable in this position.
(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

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).
