13. A log is in equilibrium, as shown in figure.

Calculate the force pushing it against the dam


and the
specific gravity of the log if:
(a) Its length is 6 m and R = 0.6 m
(b) Its length is 20 ft and R =2 ft
FBD
14. A 30-m-long vessel, with cross section
shown in below, carries a load of 6000 kN.
How far will the
water level be from the top of the vessel if
its mass is 100 000 kg?
15. A large blimp is proposed to travel near the
Earth’s surface. If the blimp resembles a large
cylinder
1500 m long with a diameter of 300 m, estimate
the payload if its own weight is 10% of the
payload.
How many 800-N people could it carry? The
blimp is filled with helium and standard
conditions prevail.
(This vehicle will not cause sea sickness and
sunsets are spectacular!)
