SET III.

1. A cube of wood sg=0.60 has 9 sides. Compute the magnitude and direction of the force F
required to hold the wood completely submerged in water.

2. A concrete cube 0.5m on each side is to be held in equilibrium under water by attaching a
light foam buoy to it. What minimum volume of foam is required? The specific weighs of
concrete and foam are 23.58Kn/m^3 and 0.79Kn/m^3, respectively.

3. A prismatic object 8in thick by 8m wide by 16in long is weighed in water at a depth of 20in
and found to weigh 11lb. What is its weight in air and it's specific gravity?
