A rectangular pontoon has a mass of 240 metric tons and a total length of 18 m.
The centre of gravity is 0.3 m above the centre of cross-section and metacentric
height is to be 1.2 m when the angle of heel 10 degree. The freeboard must not be
less than 0.6 m when the pontoon is vertical. Find the breadth and the height of the
pontoon if floating in fresh water.
8.122 The 12-ft wide quarter-circular gate AB is hinged at A. Determine the
contact force between the gate and the smooth surface at B due to water pressure
acting on the gate. Use y- 62.4 Ibvn for water.
