tio of x and y for this condition.
2. An iceberg in the ocean floats with one seventh of its volume above the surface. What
is its specific gravity relative to the ocean water? What portion of its volume would
be above the surface if ice were floating in pure water? sg=10.10KN/m^3
3. A rectangular 9m wide, 15m long, and 3.6m high has a draft in sea water of 2.4m. Its
center of gravity 2.5m above the bottom of the scow. Determine the initial metacen-
tric height and the righting moment or overturning moment when the scow tilts until
one side is just at the point of submergence.
4. Water backs up behind a concrete dam as shown infigure 1. Leakage under the foun-
dation gives a pressure distribution under the dam if the water depth, h, is too great,
the dam will topple over its toe. For the dimensions given, determine the factor of
safety against overturning if L=120ft and h=50ft. Base your analysis on a unit length
of the dam. The specific weight of the concrete is 150 lb/ft^3.
5. For the gravity dam shown in figure 2, determine the factor of safety against sliding
and overturning if µ=0.45.

TASK 1: Solve the hydrostatic force acting on plane and curved surfaces.
Problem Solving
Instructions: Analyze and solve the following problems. Enclose your final an-
swer in a box.
1. A gate having the cross section shown in Fig.1 closes an opening 5 ft wide and 4 ft high
in a water reservoir. The gate weighs 500 lb and its center of gravity is 1 ft to the left of
AC and 2 ft above BC. Determine the horizontal reaction that is developed on the gate at
C.
2. A structure is attached to the ocean floor as shown in Fig.2. A 2-m-diameter hatch is lo-
cated in an inclined wall and hinged on one edge. Determine the minimum air pressure,
p1, within the container that will open the hatch. Neglect the weight of the hatch and
friction in the hinge.
3. An open tank has a vertical partition and on one side contains gasoline with a density of
700kg/m^3 at a depth of 4 m, as shown in Fig. 3. A rectangular gate that is 4 m high and
2 m wide and hinged at one end is located in the partition. Water is slowly added to the
empty side of the tank. At what depth, h, will the gate start to open?
4. A plug in the bottom of a pressurized tank is conical in shape, as shown in Fig. 4. The air
pressure is 40 kPa and the liquid in the tank has a specific weight of 27KN/m^3. Deter-
mine the magnitude, direction, and line of action of the force exerted on the curved sur-
face of the cone within the tank due to the 40-kPa pressure and the liquid.
5. A closed tank is filled with water and has a 4-ft-diameter hemispherical dome as shown
in Fig. 5. A U-tube manometer is connected to the tank. Determine the vertical force of
the water on the dome if the differential manometer reading is 7 ft and the air pressure
at the upper end of the manometer is 12.6 psi.
