A closed, hollow, empty drum has a diameter of 24.0 in, a length of 48.0 in, and a weight of 70.0 lb. Will it float stably if placed upright in water?
Figure 5.30 shows a river scow used to carry bulk materials. Assume that the scow’s center of gravity is at its centroid and that it floats with 8.00 ft submerged. Determine the minimum width that will ensure stability in seawater.
