A project to make a solid cylindrical buoy with its axis vertical was given to you by your company. The buoy is 1.35 m in diameter and 1.85 m long and weighs 790 kg. The company provides you with a material having a specific gravity of 5.0 to make the buoy float in stable conditions in the ocean water (y = 10.25 kN/m³). Draw a simple free body diagram of your design and details calculation to prove that the buoy can float with its axis vertical. Bear in mind that you cannot change the original dimension of the buoy given.
