A solid cylinder of circular section of diameter d is of material with specific gravity Ss. This floats in a liquid of specific gravity Sl. What is the maximum length of cylinder if equilibrium is to be stable with cylinder axis vertical?

A. \(\frac{{d{S_s}}}{{\sqrt {2{S_s}\left( {{S_l} - {S_s}} \right)} }}\)
B. \(\frac{{d{S_l}}}{{\sqrt {8{S_s}\left( {{S_l} - {S_s}} \right)} }}\)
C. \(\frac{{d{S_l}}}{{\sqrt {2{S_s}\left( {{S_l} - {S_s}} \right)} }}\)
D. \(\frac{d}{{\sqrt {8\left( {{S_l} - {S_s}} \right)} }}\)
Answer» C. \(\frac{{d{S_l}}}{{\sqrt {2{S_s}\left( {{S_l} - {S_s}} \right)} }}\)
