V5.45 A closed, hollow, empty drum has a diameter of 24.0 in,
a length of 48.0 in, and a weight of 70.0 lb. Will it float
stably if placed upright in water?
V5.46 Figure 5.30 shows a river scow used to carry bulk materi-
als. Assume that the scow's center of gravity is at its cen-
troid and that it floats with 8.00 ft submerged. Determine
the minimum width that will ensure stability in seawater.
