Our ancestors found that by tying two or more circular logs together to form a raft instead of digging a hollow in each log, it would have a more stable platform to carry more weight and enabled them to migrate further across the oceans. The reasons for this added stability are: (i) It increases the metacentric height GM by increasing the height of metacenter M. It increases the metacentric radius BM. It enables a large shift of the centre of buoyancy B laterally to produce a strong restoring moment when it is tilted. (ii) (iii) (A) (B) (C) (D) (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (i) and (ii) (ii) and (iii) (i) and (iii) All of the above In flow of air past an aerofoil with velocity U, a viscous boundary layer is formed arising from the viscous effect on the surface of the aerofoil. Due to no-slip condition at the wall, the velocity at the wall is zero. Across the boundary layer, the relationship between the static pressure at the wall P, and that at the edge of boundary layer P, is given by: P> P Pw = P₂ PP₂ Rw = P₂ + p U²

A circular log floating in water is neutrally buoyant. Our ancestors found that by having half a log with semi-circular cross section and hollowing out the interior, it became stable so that they could use it to migrate across oceans. The reasons for it to become stable are: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) It lowers the centre of gravity G so that it is below the centre of buoyancy B. It lowers the centre of gravity G so that it is below the metacentre M. It increases the metacentric radius BM. It enables the shifting of the centre of buoyancy B laterally to produce a restoring moment when it is tilted. (A) (B) (C) (D) (i) and (ii) (ii) and (iii) (iii) and (iv) (iv) and (i)
