Determine resultant vertical force that ropes must resist


When the Tucurui Dam was constructed in northern Brazil, the lake that was created covered a large forest. Underwater logging was started. During the logging process, a tree is selected, trimmed, and anchored with ropes to prevent it from shooting to the surface like a missile when cut. Assume that a typical large tree can be approximated as a truncated cone with a base diameter of 6 ft, a top diameter of 1 ft, and a height of 75 ft. Determine the resultant vertical force that the ropes must resist when the completely submerged tree is cut. The specific gravity of the wood is approximately 0.6.
