PROBLEM 6: A float to be used as a level indicator is being designed to float in oil, which has a specific gravity of 0.90. It is to be a cube 100 mm on a side, and is to have 175 mm submerged in the oil. Calculate the required specific weight of the float material. PROBLEM 7: Will the float described in Problem 6 be stable if placed in the oil with its top surface vertical?
