Transcribed Image Text:1. A small metal pan of length 100cm, width 20cm and depth 4cm is floating in water.
When a uniform vertical load of 1.5 N/m is applied as shown in Figure Q1, the pan
assumes the given configuration. Find the weight of the pan and the magnitude of the
righting moment developed by the change in the position of the line of action of the
buoyant force.
