Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cylindrical container filled with liquid is rotating at a uniform rate. If the radius of the container is 2m and the height is 4m, determine the shape of the free surface and the pressure distribution at different heights.

💡 Hint: Use the equations for fluid dynamics to derive the relationships.

Question 2

Analyze a ship with a metacentric height of 1m. If the center of gravity is 0.9m, determine its stability and implications under heavy loading.

💡 Hint: Consider how stability changes with load variations.
