As shown in Figure B2, a cylindrical steel structure (density p = 8000 kg/m³) loosely sits vertically on a flat concrete slab that is fixed at the bottom of the riverbed and in parallel to the river stream. The diameter and length of the cylindrical steel structure, which is fully immersed in the river stream, are 1 m and 6 m, respectively. The properties of water are given as density p = 1000 kg/m³ and viscosity µ = 1.0x10° N.s/m², respectively. The drag coefficient of the cylindrical steel structure can be taken as 0.5. It is assumed that i) the flow of river stream is steady; i) the ground effect around due to the slab on the river stream is negligible; ii) the acceleration due to gravity, g. can be taken as 10 m/s?. Determine the minimal speed of river stream, V, at which the cylindrical steel structure can be tipped over.
