Question

A cylinder with a radius of 1.8 cm is floating in water as shown below. The mass of the cylinder is 1.80 kg. Calculate the depth of the bottom end of the cylinder

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

I will ASSUME that the cylinder floats with the axis through the center of its flat ends is perpendicular to the water surface.

The cylinder will displace it's mass in water.

water density has a value of 1000 kg/m³

if the depth of the bottom is "h" in meters

1.80 kg = π(0.018² m²)(h m)(1000) kg/m³

h = 1.768388256...

or about 1.77 m
