Solve Correctly A cylinder object is suspended in a liquid at a distance of 38cm below the surface. The diameter of the object is 140cm and the density of the object is 960 kg/m3. The density ratio is 1. Determine the height of the cylinder, if the buoyant force is 7N.
A plane is fitted with pontoons for operation on lakes. As it taxies out for take-off, the plane itself weighs 10670 Newtons (2849lbs), it has 40 gallons of gasoline in its tanks, and the pilot and passenger together weigh 1513 Newtons (340 lbs).

A closed tank whose bottom is 18 inches in diameter is filled with three liquids: 4 inches of carbon tetrachloride (SG=1.59), 2 inches of water and 12 inches of syrup (SG=1.31). The air chamber in the tank is pressurized at 1296 psf. d. Apply the PANEL EQUATIONS to determine the magnitude, direction and location of the total hydrostatic force acting at the bottom of the tank.

Bathyscaphes are capable of submerging to great depths in the ocean. What is the pressure at a depth of 5 km, assuming sea water has a constant specific weight of 10.1 kN m-³? Express your answer in kilopascals. The bathyscaphe contains several ballast tanks to regulate its buoyancy. If the dry mass of the bathyscaphe is 800 kg and its volume is 15 m³, the ballast tanks must contain what volume of seawater for the bathyscaphe to begin to sink? LF

a cubical block with a density of 2500 kg/m^3 fully submerged in water and tied to a box 0.3x0.6x0.9 m size is held down just under the water surface. The box has a mass of 110 kg. A. Determine the dimension of the cubical block in meters. B. Determine the tension in the rope in Newtons.
A vertical plate is submerged in water and has the shape as seen in the picture. Using the fact that the weight of water is 62.5 lbs/ft³, calculate the hydrostatic force (in Ibs) against the end of the tank. Give your answer correct to the nearest hundred. (Hint: First set up a Riemann sum that approximates the hydrostatic force, which can then be used to obtain an integral that represents the force.) 12 ft 8 ft 20 ft Hydrostatic force = Ibs
