Refer to Fig. 5.35. The vessel shown is to be used for a special experiment in which it will float in a fluid having a specific gravity of 1.16. It is required that the top surface of the vessel is 0.25 m above the fluid surface.
a. What should be the total weight of the vessel and its contents?
b. If the contents of the vessel have a weight of 5.0 kN, determine the required specific weight of the material from which the vessel is made.
c. The center of gravity for the vessel and its contents is 0.40 m down from the rim of the open top of the cylinder. Is the vessel stable?
