Hey all,
We have been debating for a while on a specific topic and I was wondering maybe if someone here could supply the answer. You guys have pretty much been able to answer everything else I have ever desired to know.
Here is the problem statement:
A solid piece of metal with holes is placed in water. In this submerged condition, does the water inside the holes count toward the part center of gravity? Even more perplexing to me, what happens if some of the holes get completely sealed off from the aqueous environment, while others do not? Does this theoretically change its center of buoyancy or center of gravity?
The second that I think I understand it, I don't.
