Suppose an iceberg is shaped as a solid circular cylinder of arbitrary diameter, such that it floats as illustrated in Figure 1. If the cylinder extends 2 m above the free surface of the ocean, determine the depth of the cylinder (b) below the free surface of the ocean. Consider that the density of the ocean water is Pa = 1024 kg/m3 and the density of the iceberg ice is Ph = 935 kg/m3. Additionally, make a descriptive analysis on the stability of the mechanical equilibrium state of the iceberg, if a normal force is applied on one edge of the top cap of the iceberg, consider cylinder radi less than 2 m and greater than 2 m. 2m
