Solve the following problems and write your solutions clearly, showing all the work necessary for your solution. A correct solution without supporting work may receive little or no credit.
SITUATION (1-2): An iceberg (sg=0.92) floats in salt water (sg=1.02). If 500m3 of ice is above the water surface. Determine the following:
If 500m3 of ice is above the water surface, what is the total volume of ice, in m3
If the total volume of ice in 8200m3, how many m3 of ice is above the water surface?
SITUATION (3-5): A piece of wood floats in water with 50 mm projecting above the water surface, and when placed in a glycerin of
sp.gr.1.35, the block projects 75 mm above the liquid surface. Determine the following:
3. Height of the piece of wood.
4. Specific gravity of the wood.
5. Weight of the wood if it has a cross-sectional area of 200mm200mm.
SITUATION (6-9): For the concrete gravity dam shown, B=4.2m,b=0.6m,H=7m, and h=6m. Unit weight of the concrete is 24kNm3. Considering 1-meter length of dam. Determine the following:
6. Total force exerted by water on the dam.
7. Resisting moment.
8. Factor of safety against sliding if the coefficient of friction at the base of the dam is 0.25.
SITUATION (9-10): The force acting per length of the dam shown are as follows:
