    INTRODUCTION Laboratory experiment 5 is an exercise in hydrostatic. It is designed to demonstrate the stability of a floating cylinder and to familiarize the student with the concept of buoyancy‚ metacenter and metacentric height. It is also an experimental verification of the theory presented in the textbook. The center of the buoyancy of a floating body depends on the shape of the body and on the position in which it is floating. If the body is disturbed by a small angle of heel‚ the center

    Torques Introduction During this lab you will become more familiar with the concepts of torque. The purpose of this lab is to determine if the rotational equilibrium condition‚ Στ = 0‚ holds experimentally. Equipment Meter stick (1) - no metal ends Fulcrum (1) Clamps (4) Weight Hanger (1) Mass Set (1) Digital Scale (1) Theory For a body to be in static equilibrium‚ two conditions have to be met: ΣF = 0 and Στ = 0 where F is force and τ is torque. (The torque is the force times the lever arm

    CIEG-306 Fluid Mechanics Laboratory 2. Stability of a Floating Body Objective The objectives of this experiment are: 1. to measure the angle of inclination at which an eccentrically loaded body floats‚ 2. to observe the circumstances under which a floating body is unstable‚ and 3. to compare the observed results with theoretical predictions. Apparatus The apparatus consists of an open plastic box (‘barge’) which floats in water and carries a mast (Figure 1). A plumb-bob suspended from the

    Case Analysis Jim worked as a laborer for a gas utility in Winnipeg‚ Manitoba. When the opportunity came to apply for a backhoe/front-end-loader operator job‚ he was excited. Three people applied. To select the one who would get the job‚ the company asked each of them to go out and actually work on the backhoe for a day. Jim felt his chance for the job disappear because he had never even driven a tractor‚ let alone used a backhoe. When he went out‚ he did not know how to start the tractor. One of

    Applications of Archimedes’ Principle 1. Submarine: A submarine has a large ballast tank‚ which is used to control its position and depth from the surface of the sea. A submarine submerges by letting water into the ballast tank so that its weight becomes greater than the buoyant force (and vice versa). It floats by reducing water in the ballast tank.-thus its weight is less than the buoyant force. 2. Hot-air balloon The atmosphere is filled with air that exerts buoyant force on any

    Mechanical Engineering: Hydrostatic Force Introduction Hydrostatics is a fundamental aspect of mechanics which consists of the analysis of fluid bodies which are either completely at rest or slow enough for any motion to be neglected during calculations. The concept of hydrostatics has many applications in industry‚ some notable ones being: Manmade dams and water features preventing the passage of water. In this particular example‚ large volumes of water is held back‚ which is eventually released
