This document contains 3 physics problems:
1) Calculate the force and specific gravity of a log floating in equilibrium against a dam given its length and radius.
2) Calculate how far the water level will rise in a vessel carrying a 6000 kN load given its length, cross-section, and mass.
3) Estimate the payload and number of 800-N people that could be carried by a proposed blimp given its cylindrical dimensions, own weight, and that it is filled with helium.

and the specific gravity of the log if: (a) Its length is 6 m and R = 0.6 m (b) Its length is 20 ft and R =2 ft FBD 14. A 30-m-long vessel, with cross section shown in below, carries a load of 6000 kN. How far will the water level be from the top of the vessel if its mass is 100 000 kg? 15. A large blimp is proposed to travel near the Earth’s surface. If the blimp resembles a large cylinder 1500 m long with a diameter of 300 m, estimate the payload if its own weight is 10% of the payload. How many 800-N people could it carry? The blimp is filled with helium and standard conditions prevail. (This vehicle will not cause sea sickness and sunsets are spectacular!)
