A raft is made using a number of logs with 25 cm diameter and 2 m long, as shown in the figure. It is desired that a maximum 90 percent volume of each log will be submerged when carrying two boys weighing 400 N each. Determine the minimum number of logs that must be used. The specific gravity of the wood is 0.75.

One side of the container has a 03-m square door that is hinged at its top edge. If the container is filled with water, determine the smallest force F that must be applied to the bottom edge of the door to keep it closed.
The density of a floating body can be determined by tying weights to the body until both the body and the weights are completely submerged, and then weighing them separately in air. Consider a wood log that weighs 1400 N in air. If it takes 34 kg of lead (? = 11,300 kg/m3) to completely sink the log and the lead in water, determine the average density of the log.
The density of a floating body can be determined by tying weights to the body until both the body and the weights are completely submerged, and then weighing them separately in air.

EMERGENCY!!!! The cover in the figure is hinged at the center O and has a fixed width w = 5 m. The equation of the surface is x = y2 / a (a = 3 m), the depth of the water to the right of the lid (D = 4 m). If the weight of the lid is neglected, it is necessary to keep the lid in balance. Find the size of the force (Fa) required, as shown. Take the density of the water as 999 kg / m3.
