Question:

Describe how the situation described in Problem 5.35 will change if the water level rises by 18 in during high tide.

In Problem

A float in an ocean harbor is made from a uniform foam having a specific weight of 12.00 lb/ft3. It is made in the shape of a rectangular solid 18.00 in square and 48.00 in long. A concrete (specific weight = 150 lb/ft3) block weighing 600 lb in air is attached to the float by a cable. The length of the cable is adjusted so that 14.00 in of the height of the float is above the surface with the long axis vertical. Compute the tension in the cable.
