SAMPLE PROBLEM 4 In the following set up, two spherical metals A and B are attached to the opposite sides of a wooden cylinder (SG = 0.65) which is floating on a still pond at 20 °C. Metal A is a spherical solid aluminum with SG - 2.7 and diameter of 10 cm. However, the identity of the 6 cm -diameter metal B was not recorded. Calculate the specific gravity of metal B if the wooden cylinder is to remain in the horizontal position as shown. If the spherical solids are removed, determine if the wooden cylinder will be stable by solving for its metacentric height (in cm). 30 cm 0-50 cm-
