FN Homework 03 P2

The document discusses bouyancy problems involving calculating volume, specific gravity, and submerged depth from information about objects floating or submerged in water. It includes three problems: 1) calculating volume and specific gravity of a stone from its weight in and out of water, 2) calculating the weight of steel to attach to a wooden buoy to expose a certain height above water, and 3) calculating the submerged depth of a timber cube floating in water given its dimensions and specific gravity.

II. BOUYANCY

1. A stone weighs 460 N in air. When submerged in water, it weighs 300 N. Find the:
a. volume of the stone
b. specific gravity of stone
2. A wooden buoy (SG = 0.62) is 50 mm by 50 mm and 3 m long is made to float in sea
water (SG = 1.025), as shown in Fig. 1. How many N of steel (SG = 7.85) should be
attached to the bottom to make buoy float with exactly 450 mm exposed above the
water surface?
3. A cube of timber 1.25 ft on all sides floats in water as shown in Fig. 2. The specific
gravity of timber is 0.60. Find the submerged depth of the cube.
