Question: 2 . Hydrostatics ( 1 6 Marks ) There are two 1 m - cubes rigid boxes that each weigh 5 0 0 kg .

2. Hydrostatics (16 Marks)
There are two 1 m -cubes rigid boxes that each weigh 500 kg . They are joined by a 1 m long rigid bar (small diameter), connecting the two boxes. The joining bar is out of the water and weighs 100 kg . The construction is floating in fresh water (density \(1000\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}3\)).
a) What is the draft that the cubes float at?(3)
b) What is the still water moment at the center?
c) Sketch the shear force diagram. (5)
d) What is the moment where the bar connects to the box? (3)
