Determine the force F required to pull up the 3.54m stopper from the drain of a sink if the depth of water is 10 in. Use =0.036lb/in.3 for water and neglect the weight of the chain.
Determine the smallest distance I) that would prevent the concrete dam from tipping about corner A. Use w=62.4lb/ft3 for water and c=150lb/ft3 for concrete.
The weight of the cylindrical tank is negligible in comparison to the weight of water it contains (water weighs 62.4lb/ft3). The coefficient of static friction between the tank and the horizontal surface is s. (a) Assuming a full tank, find the smallest force P required to tip the tank, and the smallest s that would allow tipping to take place. (b) If the force P = 200 lb initiates tipping, determine the depth of water in the tank.

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 1540 N in air. If it takes 34 kg of lead (r 5 11,300 kg/m3) to completely sink the log and the lead in water, determine the average density of the log.
The flow of water from a reservoir is controlled by a 5-ft-wide L-shaped gate hinged at point A, as shown . If it is desired that the gate open when the water height is 12 ft, determine the mass of the required weight W
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.
An open rectangular tank 1 m wide and 2 m long contains gasoline to a depth of 1 m.
