Problem 2.11
A submarine submerges by admitting seawater S= 1.03 into its ballast tanks. The amount of
water admitted is controlled by air pressure, because seawater will cease to flow into the tank
when the internal pressure (at the hull penetration) is equal to the hydrostatic pressure at the
depth of the submarine. Consider a ballast tank, which can be modeled as a vertical half-cylinder
( R ๏ฝ 8 ft , L ๏ฝ 20ft ) for which the air pressure control valve has failed shut. The failure occurred
at the beginning of a dive from 60 ft to 1000 ft . The tank was initially filled with seawater to a
depth of 2 ft and the air was at a temperature of 40 ๏ฐF . As the weight of water in the tank is
important in maintaining the boatโs attitude, determine the weight of water in the tank as a
function of depth during the dive. You may assume that tank internal pressure is always in
equilibrium with the oceanโs hydrostatic pressure and that the inlet pipe to the tank is at the
bottom of the tank and penetrates the hull at the โdepthโ of the submarine.
Solution 2.11

The water volume in the ballast tank is determined using given

Problem 2.68
The basic elements of a hydraulic press are shown in the figure below. The plunger has an area
of 1 in.2 , and a force, F1 , can be applied to the plunger through a lever mechanism having a
mechanical advantage of 8 to 1. If the large piston has an area of 150 in.2 , what load, F2 , can be
raised by a force of 30 lb applied to the lever? Neglect the hydrostatic pressure variation.
Solution 2.68
A force of 30 lb applied to the level results in a plunger force, F1 , of F1 ๏ฝ (8)(30) ๏ฝ 240 lb .

Problem 2.70
A Bourdon gage is often used to measure
pressure. One way to calibrate this type of
gage is to use the arrangement shown in
the figure below (a). The container is
filled with a liquid and a weight, W ,
placed on one side with the gage on the
other side. The weight acting on the liquid
through a 0.4-in. -diameter opening creates a pressure that is transmitted to the gage. This
arrangement, with a series of weights, can be used to determine what a change in the dial
movement, ๏ฑ , in the figure below (b), corresponds to in terms of a change in pressure. For a
particular gage, some data are given below. Based on a plot of these data, determine the
relationship between ๏ฑ and the pressure, p , where p is measured in psi .

Problem 2.71
A bottle jack allows an average person to lift one corner of a 4000-lb automobile completely off
the ground by exerting less than 20 lb of force. Explain how a 20-lb force can be converted into
hundreds or thousands of pounds of force, and why this does not violate our general perception
that you canโt get something for nothing (a somewhat loose paraphrase of the first law of
thermodynamics). Hint: Consider the work done by each force.
Solution 2.71
Known: 20 lb applied force lifts corner of 4, 000 lb automobile
Determine: Explain
Strategy: Force = (pressure)(area); consider work done by pistons of different size

DISCUSSION Note that the resultant of the two opposing forces is not located between the two
forces; this is only true for two forces that are acting in the same direction. Again note that the
atmospheric pressure force was not considered as it acts uniformly on both sides of the gate and
cancels out. Also note that the horizontal hydrostatic forces do not depend on the 45o angle.

Problem 2.114
Consider the curved surface shown in the figure below (a) and (b). The two curved surfaces are
identical. How are the vertical forces on the two surfaces alike? How are they different?
Solution 2.114
In both cases the magnitude of the vertical force is the weight of shaded section shown on the
right. In addition, the location of the vertical force is the same (the centroid of the shaded
section.) Therefore:
Alike: magnitude and
location of vertical
forces same.
However, the two vertical forces are different in that the force in (a) is acting upward and the
force in (b) is acting downward. Therefore:
Different: direction of
vertical forces

Problem 2.120
Hoover Dam is the highest arch-gravity type of dam in the United States. A cross section of the
dam is shown in the figure below (a). The walls of the canyon in which the dam is located are
sloped, and just upstream of the dam the vertical plane shown in the figure below (b)
approximately represents the cross section of the water acting on the dam. Use this vertical cross
section to estimate the resultant horizontal force of the water on the dam, and show where this
force acts.

Problem 2.138
When the Tucurui Dam was constructed in northern Brazil, the lake that was created covered a
large forest of valuable hardwood trees. It was found that even after 15 years underwater the
trees were perfectly preserved and underwater logging was started. During the logging process a
tree is selected, trimmed, and anchored with ropes to prevent it from shooting to the surface like
a missile when cut. Assume that a typical large tree can be approximated as a truncated cone
with a base diameter of 8 ft , a top diameter of 2 ft , and a height of 100 ft . Determine the
resultant vertical force that the ropes must resist when the completely submerged tree is cut. The

Problem 2.140
An inverted test tube partially filled with air floats in a plastic water-filled soft drink bottle as
shown in the figure below. The amount of air in the tube has been adjusted so that it just floats.
The bottle cap is securely fastened. A slight squeezing of the plastic bottle will cause the test
tube to sink to the bottom of the bottle. Explain this phenomenon.
Solution 2.140
Where the test tube is floating the weight of the tube, W , is balanced by the buoyant force, FB ,
as shown in the figure. The buoyant force is due to the displaced volume of water as shown. This
displaced volume is due to the air pressure, p , trapped in the tube where p ๏ฝ po ๏ซ ๏ง H 2O h. When
the bottle is squeezed, the air pressure in the bottle, po , is increased slightly and this in turn
increases p , the pressure compressing the air in the test tube. Thus, the displaced volume is
decreased with a subsequent decrease in FB . Since W is constant, a decrease in FB will cause
the test tube to sink.

Problem 2 .148
A submarine is modeled as a cylinder with a length of 300 ft , a diameter of 50 ft , and a
conning tower as shown in the figure below. The submarine can dive a distance of 50 ft from
the floating position in about 30 sec . Diving is
accomplished by taking water into the ballast
tank so the submarine will sink. When the
submarine reaches the desired depth, some of the
water in the ballast tank is discharged leaving the
submarine in โneutral buoyancyโ (i.e., it will
neither rise nor sink). For the conditions
illustrated, find (a) the weight of the submarine
and (b) the volume (or mass) of the water that
must be in the ballast tank when the submarine is
in neutral buoyancy. For seawater, S = 1.03 .

Problem 2.161
A child riding in a car holds a string attached to a floating, helium-filled balloon. As the car
decelerates to a stop, the balloon tilts backwards. As the car makes a right-hand turn, the balloon
tilts to the right. On the other hand, the child tends to be forced forward as the car decelerates
and to the left as the car makes a right-hand turn. Explain these observed effects on the balloon
and child.
Solution 2.161
A floating balloon attached to a string will
align itself so that the string it normal to
lines of constant pressure. Thus, if the car
is not accelerating, the lines of
p ๏ฝ constant are horizontal (gravity acts
vertically down), and the balloon floats
โstraight upโ (i.e. ๏ฑ ๏ฝ 0 ). If forced to the
side ( ๏ฑ ๏น 0 ), the balloon will return to the
vertical ( ๏ฑ ๏ฝ 0 equilibrium position in which the two forces T and FB -W line up.

Problem 2.108
A 4-ft by 3-ft massless rectangular gate is used to close the end of the water tank shown in the
figure below. A 200-lb weight attached to the arm of the gate at a distance โ from the frictionless
hinge is just sufficient to keep the gate closed when the water depth is 2 ft , that is, when the
water fills the semicircular lower portion of the tank. If the water were deeper, the gate would
open. Determine the distance ๏ฌ.

Problem 2.114
Consider the curved surface shown in the figure below (a) and (b). The two curved surfaces are
identical. How are the vertical forces on the two surfaces alike? How are they different?
Solution 2.114
In both cases the magnitude of the vertical force is the weight of shaded section shown on the
right. In addition, the location of the vertical force is the same (the centroid of the shaded
section.) Therefore:
Alike: magnitude and
location of vertical
forces same.
However, the two vertical forces are different in that the force in (a) is acting upward and the
force in (b) is acting downward. Therefore:
Different: direction of
vertical forces
opposite.

Due to symmetry, there is no net horizontal force on the roof. The vertical force is equal to the
weight of fluid above the tunnel. This vertical force acts through the centroid of the fluid
volume. Then for a tunnel length ๏ฌ,

Problem 2.134
A floating 40-in.- thick piece of ice sinks 1 in. with a 500-lb polar bear in the center of the ice.
What is the area of the ice in the plane of the water level? For seawater, S ๏ฝ 1.03 .
Solution 2.134
Without the polar bear on the ice, the submerged depth d of the ice is found by equating the
weight of the ice and the buoyant force. Denoting the pure water specific weight by ๏ง and the
ice area by A gives

Problem 2.138
When the Tucurui Dam was constructed in northern Brazil, the lake that was created covered a
large forest of valuable hardwood trees. It was found that even after 15 years underwater the
trees were perfectly preserved and underwater logging was started. During the logging process a
tree is selected, trimmed, and anchored with ropes to prevent it from shooting to the surface like
a missile when cut. Assume that a typical large tree can be approximated as a truncated cone
with a base diameter of 8ft , a top diameter of 2 ft , and a height of 100 ft . Determine the
resultant vertical force that the ropes must resist when the completely submerged tree is cut. The
specific gravity of the wood is approximately 0.6 .

Problem 2.140
An inverted test tube partially filled with air floats in a plastic water-filled soft drink bottle as
shown in the figure below. The amount of air in the tube has been adjusted so that it just floats.
The bottle cap is securely fastened. A slight squeezing of the plastic bottle will cause the test
tube to sink to the bottom of the bottle. Explain this phenomenon.
Solution 2.140
Where the test tube is floating the weight of the tube, W , is balanced by the buoyant force, FB ,
as shown in the figure. The buoyant force is due to the displaced volume of water as shown. This
displaced volume is due to the air pressure, p , trapped in the tube where p ๏ฝ po ๏ซ ๏ง H 2O h. When
the bottle is squeezed, the air pressure in the bottle, po , is increased slightly and this in turn
increases p , the pressure compressing the air in the test tube. Thus, the displaced volume is
decreased with a subsequent decrease in FB . Since W is constant, a decrease in FB will cause
the test tube to sink.

releases the balloon, how high will it rise in the Standard Atmosphere. (Neglect expansion of the

Problem 2.161
A child riding in a car holds a string attached to a floating, helium-filled balloon. As the car
decelerates to a stop, the balloon tilts backwards. As the car makes a right-hand turn, the balloon
tilts to the right. On the other hand, the child tends to be forced forward as the car decelerates
and to the left as the car makes a right-hand turn. Explain these observed effects on the balloon
and child.
Solution 2.161
A floating balloon attached to a string will align itself so that the string it normal to lines of
constant pressure. Thus, if the car is not accelerating, the lines of p ๏ฝ constant pressure are
horizontal (gravity acts vertically down), and the balloon floats โstraight upโ (i.e. ๏ฑ ๏ฝ 0 ). If
forced to the side ( ๏ฑ ๏น 0 ), the balloon will return to the vertical ( ๏ฑ ๏ฝ 0 ) equilibrium position in
which the two forces T and FB -W line up.
Consider what happens when the car decelerates with an amount a y ๏ผ 0 . As show by the
equation,
