. The diameter and height of the cylinder shown in Fig. 1 are 2m and 8m respectively.The cylinder is floating with 1/4 th of its height above the surface of the liquid of specific gravity S (assume any random value between 10 and 17 for S). (a) Determine the specific gravity and density of the cylinder.

(b) If the above cylinder is tethered with a rope as shown in Fig.2 so that 1/8 th of thecylinder remains above the liquid. i)Determine buoyancy force acting on the cylinder. ii)Determine the tension of the cable? Determine the location of the center of buoyancy from the free surface of theliquid.iii)
