SITUATION: A cylindrical tank with radius 0.5 m and 2 m high weighs 1200 N. The tank is to float in freshwater with a required draft of 1.8 m. To achieve this, some lead is added to the tank. Take unit weight of the lead to be 110,000 N/m3. Considering part 2, where the lead is attached at the outside bottom of the tank, how much additional weight of lead is required to make the cylinder fully submerged in water?
