A flotation device is in the shape of a right cylinder, with a height of 0.500m and a face area of 4.00m2 on top and bottom, and its density is 0.400 times that of fresh water. It is initially held fully submerged in fresh water, with its top face at the water surface.Then it is allowed to ascend gradually until it begins to float. How much work does the buoyant force do on the device during the ascent?

An open barge has the dimensions shown in the figure. If the barge is made out of 5.5-cm-thick steel plate on each of its four sides and its bottom, what mass of coal can the barge carry in freshwater without sinking? Is there enough room in the barge to hold this amount of coal? (The density of coal is about 1500 kg/m3.)
The distance between the centers of the two arms of a U-tube open to the atmosphere is 30 cm, and the U-tube contains 20 cm high alcohol in both arms. Now the U-tube is rotated about the left arm at 4.2 rad/s. Determine the elevation difference between the fluid surfaces in the tow arms. Include the free body diagram in your solution. a.0.96 m b.0.67 m c.0.33 m d.0.81 m
A bottle consist of a cylinder 35 cm in diameter and 30 cm high and a neck 5 cm in diameter and 30 cm long. The bottle is inserted into a body of water, with the open end of the neck first until the neck is completely filled with water. Assuming the pressure of the atmosphere is standard, and neglecting vapor pressure, what is the depth to which the open end is submerged below the free surface? Show correct figure.
It is said that Archimedes discovered the buoyancy lawswhen asked by King Hiero of Syracuse to determinewhether his new crown was pure gold (SG = 19.3).Archimedes measured the weight of the crown in air to be11.8 N and its weight in water to be 10.9 N. Was it pure gold?
Suppose that a flat surface is immersed vertically in a fluid of weight density ρ. If ρ is doubled, is the force on the plate also doubled? Explain your reasoning.

Milk with a density of 1020 kg/m3 is transported on a level road in a 9-m-long, 3-m-diameter cylindrical tanker. The tanker is completely filled with milk (no air space), and it accelerates at 4 m/s2. If the minimum pressure in the tanker is 100 kPa, determine the maximum pressure difference and the location of the maximum pressure.
Step by Step Determine the distance that the column of fluid will rise in a 1-cm open tube when the tube is inserted in fluid with a density of 990 kg/m^3 and a surface tension of 0.09 N/m. PLEASE Provide answer in cm and assume a contact angle of 0-degree.
The density of stainless steel is about 8000 kg/m3 (eight times denser than water), but a razor blade can float on water, even with some added weights. The water is at 20oC. The blade shown in the photograph is 4.3 cm long and 2.2 cm wide. For simplicity, the center cut-out area of the razor blade has been taped so that only the outer edges of the blade contribute to surface tension effects. Because the razor blade has sharp corners, the contact angle is not relevant. Rather, the limiting case is when the water contacts the blade vertically as sketched (effective contact angle along the edge of the blade is 180°). (a) Considering surface tension alone, estimate (in grams) how much total mass (razor blade + weights placed on top of it) can be supported. (b) Refine your analysis by considering that the razor blade pushes the water down, and thus hydrostatic pressure effects are also present. Hint: You will also…
A 30-cm-diameter, 10-cm-high vertical cylindrical vessel equipped with a vertical tube at the edge is rotated about its vertical axis at a constant angular velocity of 15 rad/s. If the water rise in the tube is 30 cm, determine the net vertical pressure force acting on the vessel.
Define the buoyant force and explain how it develops. Does the buoyant force vary with the depth of a submerged body? Why or why not?
