vertical buoy is a prism with a weight on the bottom so that it floats up and is used for measurements or as a signal. The prism in the figure is made of wood (relative density S=0.6) is 2 inches x 2 inches x 10 ft, and floats in salt water (S=1.025). Determine the weight of steel (S=7.85) that must be placed on the lower end so that they protrude a height (h=18 inches) above the water.
