Question

A hollow container in the shape of a truncated cone floats
in oil (d.r.=0.9), with half of its total height
submerged, when attached to a block of weight 150
Kg. as shown in the figure. Determine:
A) The weight of the prism in Kg
B) If the rope that joins the cone to the block is cut
of 150 kg, will the container float or sink?


Demonstrate and explain. Don't take stability into account
