Transcribed Image Text:

A cylindrical buoy with hemispherical ends is dropped in seawater of density 1027 kg/m³, as shown in the figure. The mass of the buoy is 82.9 kg, the radius of the cylinder and the hemispherical caps is R = 0.201 m, and the length of the cylindrical center section of the buoy is L= 0.598 m. The lower part of the buoy is weighted so that the buoy is upright in the water as shown in the figure. In calm water, how high (distance h) will the top of the buoy be above the waterline?
