Question:

You are hiking through a lush forest with some of your friends when you come to a large river that seems impossible to cross. However, one of your friends notices an old metal barrel sitting on the shore. The barrel is shaped like a cylinder and is 1.20 m high and 0.76 m in diameter. One of the circular ends of the barrel is open and the barrel is empty. When you put the barrel in the water with the open end facing up, you find that the barrel floats with 33% of it under water. You decide that you can use the barrel as a boat to cross the river, as long as you leave about 30 cm sticking above the water. How much extra mass can you put in this barrel to use it as a boat?
