Problem

A thin uniform cylindrical shell, closed at both ends, is partially filled with water. It is floating vertically in water in half submerged state. If ρc\rho_c is the relative density of the material of the shell with respect to water, then the correct statement is that the shell is: (A) More than half filled if ρc\rho_c is less than 0.5 (B) More than half filled if ρc\rho_c is more than 1.0 (C) Half filled if ρc\rho_c is more than 0.5 (D) Less than half filled if ρc\rho_c is less than 0.5
