Chapter 5, Problem 5SEP
Write a program for determining the stability of a rectangular block with a given length and height as the width varies. Call for input data for length, height, weight (or specific weight), and fluid specific weight. Vary the width in selected increments from small values to larger values, and compute the range of widths for which the metacentric height is positive, that is, for which the design would be stable. Plot a graph of metacentric height versus width.

Problem Solving
Instructions; Analyze and solve the following problems. Enclose your final an-
swer in a box.
1. A block of steel (sg=7.85) will float at a mercury-water interface. What will be the ra-
tio of x and y for this condition.
2. An iceberg in the ocean floats with one seventh of its volume above the surface. What
is its specific gravity relative to the ocean water? What portion of its volume would
be above the surface if ice were floating in pure water? sg=10.10KN/m^3
3. A rectangular 9m wide, 15m long, and 3.6m high has a draft in sea water of 2.4m. Its
center of gravity 2.5m above the bottom of the scow. Determine the initial metacen-
tric height and the righting moment or overturning moment when the scow tilts until
one side is just at the point of submergence.
4. Water backs up behind a concrete dam as shown infigure 1. Leakage…

- Problem #3 - Modeling, Mixing Problem Two tanks are connected by pipes in parallel as shown in Figure 2. Tank 1 starts with 160 lb of salt dissolved in 200 gal of water. Tank 2 starts with 100 gal of pure water. Using the diagram below, solve for the particular solutions of salt concentration in each tank as a function of time. Plot the solutions in Excel on the same plot. Note: some flow rates have been intentionally left out of the diagram below; use the conservation of mass to determine those. As a thought experiment, consider what negative eigenvalues imply. What would it mean if the eigenvalues were positive instead (what would the math say)? i.) ii.) iii.) iv.) v.) vi.) vii.)
