Venice, Italy, is slowly sinking, so now, especially inwinter, plazas and walkways are fl ooded during storms.The proposed solution is the fl oating levee of Fig. .When fi lled with air, it rises to block off the sea. The leveeis 30 m high, 5 m wide, and 20 m deep. Assume a uniformdensity of 300 kg/m 3 when fl oating. For the 1-m sea–lagoon difference shown, estimate the angle at which thelevee fl oats.
