Well, the surface of still water has surface tension. If there isn't enough mass or weight to break the surface tension, the object will float.
Answer:
The ratio is KE : TM = 0.75
Explanation:
from the question we are told that
The displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position
Generally the total mechanical energy of the mass is mathematically represented as

Here k is the spring constant , A is the total displacement of the the mass from maximum compression to maximum extension of the spring
Generally this total mechanical energy is mathematically represented as

=> 
Here the potential energy of the mass is mathematically represented as
![PE = \frac{1}{ 2} * k * [ x ]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=PE%20%20%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%202%7D%20%20%2A%20%20k%20%2A%20%20%5B%20x%20%5D%5E2)
Here x is the displacement of the mass from maximum compression or extension of the spring to equilibrium position and the value is

So
![PE = \frac{1}{ 2} * k * [ \frac{A}{2} ]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=PE%20%20%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%202%7D%20%20%2A%20%20k%20%2A%20%20%5B%20%5Cfrac%7BA%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5D%5E2)
So
![KE = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2 - \frac{1}{2} * k * [\frac{A}{2} ]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=KE%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%2A%20%20k%20%20%2A%20%20A%5E2%20-%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%2A%20%20k%20%20%2A%20%20%5B%5Cfrac%7BA%7D%7B2%7D%20%5D%5E2)
=> 
=> 
So the ratio of
is mathematically represented as

=>
Answer:
the thickness of the glass divided by thickness of water is going to be 1.333 divided by 1.52, which is 0.877. So, the height of this glass, in order to have the same number of wavelengths as in water, the height of the glass will be 0.877 times the height of the water, and so it will be smaller.
