The schematic figure below shows a square cube of dimensions H x H x H floating upright on the surface of a liquid of uniform density p. The upper and lower halves of the cube have uniform densities p1 and p2, respectively. K corresponds to the center of the cube's square base, whereas G, B and M represent the cube's center of gravity, the center of buoyancy and the metacenter, respectively. Note that for two general vertical points P and Q, PQ is positive (negative) if Q lies above (below) P. Determine KG, KB, BM and GM if p= 1000 kg/m³, p1 = 0.7p, p2 = 1.1p and H = 1 m.

A trough, 10meters long is filled with a liquid of density 840 kg/m3. Its cross section is in the shape of a parabola with base width of 4m at the top and a height of 5m. If the trough is filled with water to a depth of 4 meters, find the force due to liquid pressure acting on one end of the trough. (Note: Place the liquid surface along the x-axis.)
A column arranged vertically holds a composite fluid of 18 in of mercury (SG = 13.6), 26 in of water (density = 998 kg/m^3), and 32 in of oil(SG = 0.9), with its top end exposed to the atmosphere. Calculate the pressure in psia at the bottom of the column. Knowing that fluids with higher densities sit below fluids with lower densities, illustrate the vertical column(no need to be up to scale). With solutions please.

The pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cell is 7.5Pa. a) Draw free body diagrams of the whole cell and one hemisphere of the cell. b) Calculate cortical tension in the cell.
