Why or why not? Use at least two methods to support your answer.
A spare buoy is a buoyant rod weighted to float and protrude vertically, as shown in thefigure below. Suppose that the buoy is made of maple wood ( specific gravity s = 0.6), has arectangular cross section ( 2.54cm by 2.54cm ), a length of 3.7 m , and is floating in seawater( specific gravity s =1.025 ). What weight of steel should be added to the bottom end of thebuoy so that h=0.45 cm? ( The specific gravity of steel s = 7.85 )
