Problem 29: A light foam cup similar to a disposable coffee cup has a weight of 0.05 N. A steel bar is placed inside the cup. The bar has a specific weight of 76.8 kN/m3, a diameter of 38.0 mm, and a length of 80.0 mm. How much of the height of the cup will be submerged if it is placed in water? The cup has a uniform diameter of 82.0 mm and a length of 150 mm. PROBLEM 30: Referring to Problem 29 assume that the steel bar is placed inside the cup with its long axis vertical. Will the cup float stably?
