Concept explainers

Moment of Inertia

Inertia can be termed as a resistance offered by a body to change its state. A rigid body initially at rest will apply resistance when acted by an external force that tends to change its state of rest or velocity, or a body initially at motion will provide resistance in changing its state of velocity or motion for coming to a state of rest. In other words, Newton's first law of motion describes the law of inertia of a rigid body.

A crane barge, 20 m long, 8 meters wide, and 12 meters high loaded at its center with a road roller weighing 20 short tons, floats on fresh water with a draft of 1.20 meters and has its center of gravity located along its vertical axis at a point 1.50 meters above its bottom. Compute the horizontal distance out to one side from the centerline of the barge through which the crane could swing the 20-ton load which it had lifted from the center of the deck, and tip the barge with 20-meter edge just touching the water surface.
A common small boat for use in quiet streams and lakes has a flat bottom and is approximately rectangular in shape like the smaller ones in this photo. For fishing they would be about 5.4 m long, 1.3 meters across at the bottom, and have a hull mass of 215 kg (475 lb weight) if made of aluminum. Along a side they might have a depth of 0.6 meter (about two feet) from the upper edge to the bottom, though many small ones are not that deep. The density of water is 1 g/cm3, or 1000 kg/m3. How far into the water will this boat sink, unloaded, at equilibrium?
