4.0 m السرو 4.0 m The raft is made of solid square Pinewood (density= 550 kg/m'). Determine whether the raft floats in water (density = 1000 kg/m) and if so, how much of the raft is beneath the water surface. Weight of raft 0.30 m Since the density of the raft (pinewood) is less than that of water, the raft foats. Q: A force of 250 N is applied to a hydraulic piston that is 0.01 m in diameter. If the piston which supports the load has a diameter of 0.10 m, approximately how much mas can be lifted? 250 N 0.01 m 0.10 m

A ship of displacement 36000 tonne carries oil fuel in four tanks 16.0 m long and 6.0 m broad, the tanks arranged with their length in the fore and aft direction. The specific gravity of the oil is 0.84, and the density of seawater inwhich the ship is floating is 1020 kgm-3. For a ship of this size, the metacentric height is at least 500 mm. What is the reduction of the metacentric height of the ship because of the oil that is contained in the tanks and how serious is this reduction? Please discuss further your conclusions.

The plastic block shown below measures l.5 m x/.S m x(.7 m and has a specific gravity of 0.38. The concrete block B (density = 2400 kg/m) is suspended from the corner of the plastic block by means of a cable and the plastic block is thus floating in the lake (T = 15°C) in the orientation shown. Determine the volume of the concrete block (units of liters) noting that it does not rest on the bottom of the lake, Neglect the weight and volume of the cable in your analysis. %3D %3D 1.7 m 0.5m Water Cable B
1. Consider a conic reservoir of unit depth that is initially filled with water at the height of h = 200 mm. A rigid cuboid block, with dimensions of 10 cm x 5 cm x 3 cm, is then dropped into the water. When the equilibrium state is reached, the block floats on the water's surface, as shown in the figure. If the specific gravity of the block is 0.5, determine the change in the free surface position of the water, i.e., Ah, in mm. %3D Hint: You can calculate the volume of liquid inside the conic reservoir with a unit depth in terms of the liquid height as V = th³/3.
