P4. Rod under water One end of a rod of length L and density p is fixed by a frictionless pivot at a depth d under water. Determine the equilibrium positions of d the rod in terms of its an- gle a measured from the vertical, and the investi- gate whether the equilib- rium positions are stable or unstable, given that (a) p= 500 kg/m³; (The density of water is pw = (b) p= 853 kg/m³. 1000 kg/m³.)
