Walking on the water
 CORROSION

Introduction
• Based on the archimedes principles,when a stationary
body is completely submerged in a fluid, or floating so
that it is only partially submerged, the resultant fluid
force acting on the body is called the buoyant force.
where is the specific weight of the fluid and is the
volume of the body. The direction of the buoyant force,
which is the force of the fluid on the body, is opposite to
that shown on the free-body diagram. Therefore, the
buoyant force has a magnitude equal to the weight
• A body is said to be in a stable equilibrium position if,
when displaced, it returns to its equilibrium position.
Conversely, it is in an unstable equilibrium position if,
when displaced (even slightly), it moves to a new
equilibrium position. Stability considerations are
particularly important for submerged or floating bodies
since the centers of buoyancy and gravity do not
necessarily coincide. A small rotation can result in
either a restoring or overturning couple. For floating
bodies the stability problem is more complicated, since
as the body rotates the location of the center of
buoyancy (which passes through the centroid of the
displaced volume) may change.

Design Concept
• The shoes will float on the water. Balsa wood is one
of the lightest varieties of wood available. The
density of this wood is 110-140 kg/m3.
• Design of the shoes. The design concept need to to
comfortable, easy to handle, in a stable condition,
compact size and low cost
• Same as its project name this project will only
considered the design that will act as a shoes not
any product that will float only on water.
• This study or shoes design only suitable for calm
water surface. Which means it will only work best
at the lake or pond without hugh wave such as on
the sea.

Calculation
There are some assumption will be made to check either the shoes will
be floating or not. The assumption that will be made is about its
dimension by make its shape into simple shape.

Feet area volume,

V1 = 0.13 x 0.085 x 0.141
= 0.00156 m3
V2 = 0.11 x 0.070 x 0.141
= 0.00109 m3
Feet area volume, Vf = V1 + V2 = 0.00156 + 0.00109
= 0.00265 m3

Shoes area volume,

V3 = 0.017 x 0.14 x 0.3
= 0.00714 m3
 CORROSION

Calculation
V4= 1/2 x 0.09 x 0.14 x 0.3
= 0.00189 m3
V5 = 0.2 x 0.15 x 0.3
= 0.00900 m3
V6= 0.26 x 0.024 x 0.3
= 0.00187 m3
V7 = 1/2 x 0.076 x 0.26 x 0.3
= 0.00296 m3

Shoes area volume, Vs = V3 + V4 + V5 +V6 + V7

= 0.00714 + 0.00189 + 0.009 + 0.00187 + 0.00296
= 0.02987 m3

Total volume, = Vs - Vf = 0.02987 - 0.00265

= 0.02722 m3
 CORROSION

Calculation
Block weight = Volume x density x gravity acceleration
= 0.02722 x 130 kg/m3 × 9.81 m/s2 + 40 x 9.81
= 427.1137

(40 x 9.81 because human weigth considered is 80 kg and

there are two shoes so it will became 40 kg for each shoes)

Displacement water volume = block weight / water specific mass

= 427.1137 / (1000 x 9.81)
= 0.04354
Submerged length = Displacement water volume / (length x width)
= 0.04354 / (0.6 x 0.3)
= 0.24m

So the shoes design will be float.

Discussion
• From the shoes design and concept and calculation
we can get that the shoes will be floating only when
the human weight is 80 kg or less. So another
dimension of shoes need to be made to make sure
that the shoes can be used by other people.

• We are also need to analyze more spesifically the

hull design so that the hull will help to balancing the
shoes but will not hold the user movement because
of the water pressure at the front of the hull.
Conclusion
• As a conclusion this project had been conduct
succesfully. Theoretically this design will help its
user to standing on the water. This design will also
help its user to stabilize on the water when there
are moving forward. This design product only
suitable for user with weight 80 kg or lower.
Although we are not being able to produce this
product but we are confident that this product will
give good result if produced.
