Answer D is possible because the fluid in the problem is heavier than water. However, since 12,000/9810 ~= 1.2, we can concluded that the object would be nearly completely submerged if its specific gravity were 1.2. Another way to solve this problem is to look at the percent submerged: 0.8m/(0.3m+0.8m)=0.727 0.727*12000/9810=0.89
Thank you so much for working through a handful of fluid mechanics problems! Incredibly helpful resource for studying for the FE environmental exam. Cheers!
@@cobygualano3881 Keep going at it Coby! It's hard to pass this exam and it does require some reflection and failing. I am glad to hear you're learning from your previous attempt. You'll pass this no matter what!
@@directhubfeexam The volume units do cancel out so you're left with gamma N/m³. I see now. I hope you can put more environmental FE and PE content . I notice lots for civil but other disciplines are lacking. I do appreciate the videos you put on. Going for test 2 this December after being out of school since 1994. Hope this sinks in finally.
@@dand7056 I do really enjoy the Enivronmental content even though that's not my specialty at this time. I will keep putting out content either way. I wish you the best with your prep this coming month Dan! Pace yourself and Remember to do those very important timed practice exams. You got this!
Don't be man! Most students I work with on a daily basis don't pass their exam the first or even the second time. Every attempt at this exam is a learning opportunity you can reflect on and further adjust your study structure for the next time. Not passing this exam doesn't mean you're not capable of passing it in the near future. It just means you need to make some slight adjustments, focus on your weak areas, and most importantly recharge before jumping into studying again. I am sure you'll pass it no matter what!

Nice one! Thanks for sharing man!

Thank you very much! Really happy to hear you're finding my videos helpful. Keep it up!
Thank for this example very pertinent for the FE civil. Your explanations are clear and neat. Besides shows the importance of the concept...
As always, a great explanation of the problem!🙌🏼
I took the Environmental FE in august and I believe I had a buoyancy problem as well
Nice! It looks like you passed it?!
@@directhubfeexam I did not unfortunately. Focused too much on the provided practice test and specific sections. I will soon though!

Thanks for the great video
Gamma times volume is N, not N/m³. Am I missing something?
Yeah that’s right! I said that incorrect. It makes sense since we want the weight which has force units of N. Sorry for the confusion.

Took the exam and did not pass. I’m just heartbroken and pretty bummed.
Good luck 🍀

Keep working consistently and with a proper framework understanding the concepts. You will get it.
