Question

A floating city module concept has been proposed, whose bottom can be approximated to a cone with a half angle of Î± = 60Âº. It is expected that the d10 = 10 m diameter module can sustain a payload (structure and net content, without ballast) of m10 = 15,800 kg; the one with d10 = 25 m in diameter, a payload of m25 = 170,000 kg; and the one with d100 = 100 m in diameter, a payload of m100 = 17.0 Â· 10^6 kg. Considering that these modules should float in seawater near the coast, determine a) the feasibility of each one of them in terms of buoyancy forces, b) if ballast is required, and c) what minimum depth the waters should have to accommodate the module.
