A conical wood has a circular base radius of 350 mm with its center of gravity located 750 mm from the base and is submerged at a height 'h'. Determine the radius of the circular base along the free water surface if the specific gravity of the wood is 60% of a standard fluid. Also, determine the metacentric height. 350 mm C.G 750 mm
