A cylindrical object 0.5m in diameter and 2m long weights has a mass of 200kg. The object is floating end-down in water. How many cm of the object are above the waterline?

1 answer

A =cross section area = pi (.5)^2
1000 Kg/m^3 * A * (2-L) = mass of water displaced = 200
solve for L, multiply by 100 to get cm instead of meters
