Randall D. Knight β Fluids and Elasticity: Problem Problem_50
A cylinder with cross-section area A floats with its long axis vertical in a liquid of density \(\rho\). a. Pressing down on the cylinder pushes it deeper into the liquid. Find an expression for the force needed to push the cylinder distance x deeper into the liquid and hold it there. b. A 9.0-cm-diameter cylinder floats in water. How much work must be done to push the cylinder 15 cm deeper into the water?
