SAMPLE PROBLEM 4 In the following set up, two spherical metals A and B are attached to the opposite sides of a wooden cylinder (SG = 0.65) which is floating on a still pond at 20 °C. Metal A is a spherical solid aluminum with SG - 2.7 and diameter of 10 cm. However, the identity of the 6 cm -diameter metal B was not recorded. Calculate the specific gravity of metal B if the wooden cylinder is to remain in the horizontal position as shown. If the spherical solids are removed, determine if the wooden cylinder will be stable by solving for its metacentric height (in cm). 30 cm 0-50 cm-

P1.9 A rubber balloon when fully inflated has a spherical shape with a radius of 0.3 m. The absolute pressure inside the balloon is 103 kN m²2 and the local barometric ambient pressure is 750 mm of mercury. By considering the equilibrium of a hemispherical portion of the balloon, calculate the tension in the rubber membrane per unit circumferential length. Neglect the effect of the thickness of the balloon. [Answer: 0.44 kN
PROBLEM # 2 A 2-in. diameter cylinder is floating vertically in seawater with 75% of its volume submerged. If the specific gravity of seawater is 1.03, estimate the density of the cylinder in kg/m.
Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length, Ah (in mm), of a column of water 1.5 km high for a temperature increase of 1.2 °C.Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean warming is not uniform with depth. Properties of water: 3 = 210 x 10 /C. c= 4186 J/kg - °C, L; = 334 kJ/kg, Le = 2256 kJ/kg Enter you answer below (to the nearest mm): Ah (in mm) = Type your answer.

To measure the water depth in a large open tank with opaque walls, an open vertical glass tube is attached to the side of the tank. The height of the water column in the tube is then used as a measure of the depth of water in the tank. (a) For a true water depth in the tank of 3ft, make use of the following equation (with 0 = 0-degree) to determine the percent error due to capillarity as the diameter of the glass tube is changed. Assume a water temperature of 80°F. Show your result on a graph of percent error versus tube diameter, D, in the range 0.1 in.
