determine the metacentric height of a cylinder of 4 m diameter and height of 4m floating in water with its axis vertical, if per
1 answer:
Answer:
-0.383 m
Explanation:
Diameter of cylinder = 4m therefore r = 2
height of cylinder ( H ) = 4 m
specific gravity = 0.6 ( assumed )
depth of immersion = 'h'
<u>Determine the metacentric height </u>
weight of cylinder in water = water displaced
= 0.6 * 1000 * πr^2* H = 1000 * πr^2* h
= 0.6 * 4 = h
∴ h = 2.4 m
hence the depth of center of buoyancy from free space = h /2 = 1.2 m
The metacentric height can be calculated using the formula below
Gm = Io / Vsubmerged - BG
attached below is the remaining solution

Considering that the pulley is fixed, the force applied should be equal to the weight of the object - of 400N.
Pulleys or pulleys are mechanical tools used to assist in the movement of objects and bodies. There are two types of pulleys: fixed and movable. While the fixed pulley changes the direction of force, the moving pulley helps to decrease the force needed to move the object or body in question.
As the statement only tells us a pulley, we must consider that it is fixed, <u>because generally when it is mobile, this information is highlighted in the question</u>.
In this way, a fixed pulley only changes the direction of the applied force. Thus, the force must have the same magnitude as the weight of the object to be moved. If the bucket weighs 400N, the force applied to the pulley must be 400N.
<u>Therefore, having a fixed pulley, the force applied must be equal to the weight of the object, and will be 400N.</u>
