Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A vessel floats with a center of gravity at 2 m above the waterline and a metacenter at 3 m above the waterline. Determine if the vessel is stable or unstable.

💡 Hint: Calculate BM and compare it with BG.

Question 2

You have a rectangular object submerged in fluid. The width is 1 m, height is 0.5 m, and fluid has a density of 1000 kg/m^3. Calculate the buoyant force acting on the object.

💡 Hint: Remember to find the displaced volume.
