Hydrostatics: Log floating in water near a dam So I am studying for a final and can't seem to solve this. There is a log floating in water and I need to find its weight. The question I have is what parts of the volume of the log count when summing the forces in the Y axis.

What i have now for AREA alone is $r^2 - .25\pi r^2$ pushes down 
and $.5\pi r^2 + r^2$ pushes up. however this does not take into account the air above the log in the upper right quadrant. is the force pushing up taking into account the half circle below the water and also the $2r^2$ above the horizontal of the log?
The actual question for this image says:
A log is stuck against a dam as shown in the diagram. given the radius of the log of 1.4 m and the length of the log into the page, 10 m find the weight of the log in kN.
 A: There are two possibilities.

*Water is not leaking up between the log and the dam and flowing over the dam. In this case, the pressure on the bottom of the log depends only on the depth, and the amount of force needed to balance the water is the same as the weight of a log with the density of water, with an extra corner added; i.e., the red area in the crude picture below. This would be the weight of water in a volume $L(\frac{3}{4} \!\pi R^2 + R^2)$, where $L$ is the length of the log and $R$ is the radius of the log. (I expect this was not the way that your teacher intended you to solve the problem. Also note that this log is denser than water, which means that it is very difficult to see how it could have reached this position.)


*Water is leaking, and flowing up between the log and the dam. In this case, you have a very complicated problem in hydrodynamics which you cannot solve without more information.

A: Please correct me if I've misunderstood, but wouldn't this still be an application of the Archimedes' principle? If the log is floating then the it would have displaced its weight in water; the force pushing down is balanced by the force pushing up. So if we assume it is completely submerged (this may be a weak assumption), then we know the volume of water displaced and therefore its mass (we are given the density of water). Once we have the mass of water, we can work out its weight.
