A solid cylinder of circular section of diameter
d is of material with specific gravity S This
floats in a liquid of specific gravity S,. What is
the maximum length of the cylinder if equilibrium
is to be stable with the cylinder axis vertical?
A loaded scow has a draft of 1.8 m in fresh water when erect. The scow is 6 m wide
and 12 m long and 2.4 m high. The center of gravity of scow is 1.8 m above the
bottom along the vertical axis of symmetry. What is the maximum single weight that
can be moved transversely from the center of the scow and unloaded over the side
without sinking the scow?
Example: A cylinder 2.2 m in diameter and 3.3 m long supported as shown in Figure retains
water on one side. If the cylinder weighs 165 kN, calculate the vertical reaction at L and
horizontal reaction at M. Neglect the frictional effects.

The reasons for this added stability are: (i) It increases the metacentric height GM by increasing the height of metacenter M. (ii) It increases the metacentric radius BM. It enables a large shift of the centre of buoyancy B laterally to produce a strong restoring moment when it is tilted.
