SET IV.

1. The weight of a certain crown in air was found to 14N and its weight in water 13.7N was it
gold? Sg=19.3?

2. Repeat problem 1, assuming the crown is an alloy of gold sg=19.3 and silver sg=10.5. For the
same measured weighs, compute the fraction of the silver in crown.

3. A hydrometer weighs 0.19N and has a stem diameter of 12mm. What is the distance
between scale markings for sg =1 & sg=1.1 Between 1.1 & 1.2?

4. A wooden beam sg=0.64 is 150mm by 150mm by 7m and is hinged at A, as shown. At what

figure angle will the beam float in the water?

5. A barge weighs 55tons empty and 21ft wide, 48ft long and 12ft high. What will be it's draft
when loaded with 130tons of gravel and floating in seawater. Sg=1.025?

6. A block of steel sg=7.85 will float at mercury water interface as in Fig. 6-19. What will be the
ratio of distances a and b for this condition.

7. A block of wood requires force of 50N to get keep it immerse in water and a force of 180N to
keep it immersed in glycerin sg=1.3. Find the weight and Specific gravity of the wood.

8. A wooden spherical ball with specific gravity of 0.42 and a diameter of 400mm is dropped
from a height of 14.3m above the surface of water in a pool of unknown depth. The ball barely
touched the bottom of the pool before began to float. Determine the depth of the pool.

9. A plastic cube of side and sp= 0.82 is placed verticaly in water, is the cube is stable?

10. A solid wood cylinder of sp=0.6 is 800mm diameter and 1600mm high. If placed verticaly in
oil sp= 0.85, would it be stable?
