Homework Statement
I am currently taking mechanical vibration course and am given coursework.
A wooden block (20X200mm) floats half submerged in water. Determine the frequency of small oscillations of the block rolling from side to side. In this motion, the centre of mass remains in the plane of the water surface.
This is the question with the picture and nothing else is given.
I do not even know where to start. It ONLY gives the size of the wooden box and asks to figure out the frequency...
Only thought I had was that this could be seen as a torsional vibration(shaft-disk vibration) since it shows torsional motion. but that was it, I was not able to make a progress further.
How do I approach this question?
Thank you in advance.
