A solid cylinder of uniform density of 0.85 g/cm3 floats in a glass of water tinted light blue by food coloring.
Its circular surfaces are horizontal. What effect will the following changes, each made to the initial system, have on X, the height of the upper surface above the water? The liquids added do not mix with the water, and the cylinder never hits the bottom.

1. The cylinder is replaced with one that has the same density and diameter, but with half the height.
2. Some of the water is removed from the glass.
3. A liquid with a density of 1.06 g/cm3 is poured into the glass.
4. The cylinder is replaced with one that has the same height and diameter, but with density of 0.83 g/cm3.
5. A liquid with a density of 0.76 g/cm3 is poured into the glass.
6. The cylinder is replaced with one that has the same density and height, but 1.5× the diameter.
Options are: Increase, Decrease, No change

Generally, We are only interested in the component that operates horizontally since the vertical components all cancel each other out. The pressure difference works on the hemisphere to generate a normal force all over the surface, but we are only concerned with that force's horizontal component. This may be determined by supposing the hemispheres to be two flat circular plates of the same radius as the hemispheres that have been forced together.

Therefore, force is equal to pressure multiplied by area, which is

F= (970 -15 )( * (0.45 m)2)

F=60754 N for each side.

Therefore, each side has to have at least 44 horses

44* 1390 = 61160 N
