A masonry dam of trapezoidal cross section, with one face vertical, has a thickness of 2ft at the top and 10ft at the bottom. It is 22ft high and has a horizontal base. The inclined face is subjected to water pressure, the water standing to a depth of 15ft above the base. The weight of the masonry is 150lb per cu ft. If there is no hydrostatic uplift, where will the resultant pressure intersect the base? Is this a good design?
The barge is 10 m wide by 30 m long. When loaded with 5 MegaNewton-force, its center of gravity is 0.5 meters above the water surface. 13. Find the value of MBO? 14. Find the metacenter height above the center of gravity for a roll angle of 10 degrees. 15. Compute the righting moment.

Show all the needed calculations that will lead you to conclude that your design is safe. Given Conditions: Coefficient of Friction is 0.5 and the soil bearing capacity is 125kPa. A dam is to be constructed to supply irrigation to farms. As a low dam its height is limited to 3m and the freeboard is set to 0.5m. Design the trapezoidal dam to be as safe under all conditions.
A rectangular barge 8.9 m wide draft in seawater of 2.35 m. It's center of gravity is 2.65 m above the bottom of the barge. Determine the following if it has 12 m long and 3.5 m high: 1. Initial metacentric height (in meter) 2. Righting or overturning moment when the barge tilts until one side is just at the point of submergence.
A vessel of constant rectangular cross-section is 60 m long, 10 m beam and 7 m in depth. The vessel floats at a draught of 3.0 m in water of density 1.025 t/m3 Draw the metacentric diagram for the vessel for the range of draughts from 0.0 m to 5.0 m in 0.5 m intervals.
The loaded scow has a draft of 1.8 m in fresh water when in upright position. The scow is 6m wide and 12m long & 2.4 m deep. The center of gravity of the scow is 1.8 m above the bottom of the scow along the vertical axis of symmetry. What is the maximum safe weight that can be moved transversely from the center of the scow & unloaded over the side without sinking it?
