Question 4 (a) Define and explain using sketches, metacentric height, stable and unstable equilibrium and explain their significance in relation to floating objects. (b) A cylindrical buoy 1.8 m in diameter, 1.2 m high and weighing 10kN floats in salt water of density 1025kg m³. If a load of 2kN is placed on the top, find the depth to which the combined object will be submerged.
