For the vessel shown in Fig. 5.26 and described in Problem 5.27, assume that it floats with just the entire hemisphere submerged and that its center of gravity is 0.65 m from the top. Is it stable in the position shown?

Problem 5.27

A vessel for a special experiment has a hollow cylinder for its upper part and a solid hemisphere for its lower part, as shown in Fig. 5.26. What must be the total weight of the vessel if it is to sit upright, submerged to a depth of 0.75 m, in a fluid having a specific gravity of 1.16?
