A spar buoy is a buoyant rod weighted to float and protrude vertically. Suppose that the buoy is made of wood (SG = 0.6) , 2-in by 2-in by 15-ft Wood (SG = 0.6) 4 ft floating with a 5 lbm of steel attached at the bottom. The steel accidentally attached itself to a rock in the Steel (SG = 7.85) sea. Compute the angle 0 at which the buoy will lean. Assume that the rock exerts no moment on the spar. Seawater
