Determine the minimum volume of concrete (-y = 23.6 kN/m3) needed to keep the gate (I m wide) in a closed position, withe= 2m. Note the hinge at the bottom of the gate.

A cylindrical container 4ft high and 2ft in diameter holds water to a depth of 2 ft. How much does the level of the water in the tank change when a 5 lb block of ice is placed in the container? Is there any change in the water level in the tank when the block of ice melts? Does it depend on the specific gravity of the ice? Explain all the processes.

The partially submerged wood pole is attached to the wall by a hinge as shown. The pole is in equilibrium under the action of the weight and buoyant forces. Determine the density of the wood.

A balloon is to be used to carry meteorological mstruments to an elevation of 15,000 ft where the air pressure is S.l psi a. The balloon is to be filled with helium, and the material from which it is to be fabricated weighs O.Qllbf/ft2 If the mstruments weigh 8lbf, what diameter should the spherical balloon have?

A weather balloon is constructed of a flexible material such that the internal pressure of the balloon is always 10 kPa hlgher than the local atmospheric pressure. At sea level the diameter of the balloon is 1 m, and it is filled with helium. The oalloon material, structure, and instruments have a mass of 100 g. This does not include the mass of the helium. As the Oalloon rises, it will expand. The temperature of the helium is always equal to the local atmospheric temperature, so it decreases as the balloon gains altitude. Calculate the maximum .Uti tude of the balloon in a standard atmosphere.

The hydrometer shown weighs 0.015 N. If the stem sinks 6.0 em in oil (z = 6.0 em), what is the specific gravity of :he oil?

The hydrometer shown sinks 5.3 em (z = 5.3 em) in water (15C). The bulb displaces 1.0 cm3 ,and the stem area is 0.1 cm2 . Find the weight of the hydrometer.

A common commercial hydrometer for measuring the amount of antifreeze in the coolant system of an automobile engine consists of a chamber with differently colored balls. The system is calibrated to give the range of specific gravity by distinguishing between the balls that sink and those that float. The specific gravity of an ethylene glycol-water mixture varies from 1.012 to 1.065 for 10% to 50% by weight of ethylene glycol. Assume there are six balls, 1 em in diameter each, in the chamber. What should the weight of each ball be to provide a range of specific gravities between 1.01 and 1.06 with 0.01 intervals?

A hydrometer with the configuration shown has a bulb diameter of 2 em, a bulb length of 8 em, a stem diameter of 1 em, a length of 8 em, and a mass of 40 g. What is the range of specific gravities that can be measured with this hydrometer? (Hint: Liquid levels range between bottom and top of stem.)

A barge 20ft wide and 40ft long is loaded with rocks as shown. Assume that the center of gravity of the rocks and barge is located along the centerline at the top surface of the barge. If the rocks and the barge weigh 400,000 lbf, will the barge float upright or tip over?

A floating body has a square cross section with side was shown in the figure. The center of gravity is at the centroid of the cross section. Find the location of the water line, C/ w, where the body would be neutrally stable (GM = 0). If the body is floating in water, what would be the specific gravity of the body material?

A cylindrical block of wood I m in diameter and 1 m long has a specific weight of 7500 N/m3 . Will it float in water with its axis vertical?

Is the block in this figure stable floating in the position shown? Show your calculations.
