The following questions consider the stability of a floating iceberg. Approximate the iceberg as a perfect cylinder of uniform density, If the iceberg has a diameter of 3 meters and a length of 0.5 meters find the location of the metacenter as measured from the bottom of the iceberg. Take the density of sea water to be 1030 kg/m3 and the density of the ice to be 920 kg/m3.
