73. A small metal pan of length 1 m, width 20 cm and depth 4 cm floats in water.

When a uniform load of 15 N/m is applied as shown in Fig. DD, the pan assumes the figure shown. Find the weight of the pan and the magnitude of the righting moment developed. 76. A cylindrical caisson has an outside diameter of 6m and floats in fresh water with its axis vertical. Its lower end is submerged to a depth of 6m below the water surface. Find: a) the initial metacentric height; b) the righting couple when the caisson is tipped through an angle of 10. 77. A rectangular scow 9.15 m wide by 15.25 m long has a draft of 2.44 m in fresh water. Its center of gravity is 4.60 m above the bottom. Determine the height of the scow if, with one side just at the point of submergence, the scow is in unstable position. 78. A rectangular scow 9.15 m wide by 15.25 m long and 4.60 m high has a draft of 2.75m. Its center of gravity, transversely and longitudinally, is at the center of the scow. If the scow is tipped transversely until one end is at the point of submergence, find the righting couple. 79. A rectangular raft 3 m wide and 6 m long has a thickness of 60 cm and is made of solid timbers (sp. Gr. 0.60). If a man weighing 890 N steps on the edge of the raft at the middle of one side, how much will the original water line on that side be depressed below the water surface? 80. The timber shown in Fig. EE is 30 cm square and 6 m long, having a specific gravity of 0.50. A man standing at a point 60 cm from one end causes that end to be just submerged. Find the weight of the man. 81. A submarine of 10,700 KN displacement has its center of gravity 30 cm from its center of volume. What is the righting couple when it is submerged in the sea water and the angle of heel is 5. 82. A log 30 cm in diameter weighs 4900 N/m3. What is its shortest length so that it may float in water with the axis horizontal? 83. A block of wood is 15 cm square and 30 cm long. What is the specific gravity of the wood if the metacenter is at the same point as the center of gravity of the wood when the block is floating in water on its side. Would it be stable floating on its end? Explain. 84. Fig. FF shows a scow equipped with derrick with boom 5.50 m long. What maximum weight could be picked by the boom at its end along the longitudinal side in order that water will not enter the scow? Assume the weight of the boom to be negligible and consider its position to be always horizontal.
