Problem
A thin uniform cylindrical shell, closed at both ends, is partially filled with water. It floats vertically in water in a half-submerged state. If ρc is the relative density of the material of the shell with respect to water, then the correct statement is that the shell is
(1) More than half-filled if ρc is less than 0.5.
(2) More than half-filled if ρc is more than 1.0.
(3) Half-filled if ρc is more than 0.5.
(4) Less than half-filled if ρc is less than 0.5.
