SITUATION: A cylindrical tank with radius 0.5 m and 2 m high weighs 1200 N. The tank is to float in freshwater with a required draft of 1.8 m. To achieve this, some lead is added to the tank. Take unit weight of the lead to be 110,000 N/m3. If the lead is to be attached at the outside bottom of the tank, determine the required volume of the lead (in cubic meters). 13.91 0.1391 0.1264 12.64
