A wooden stick of length L, radius R and...

A wooden stick of length `L`, radius `R` and density `rho` has a small metal piece of mass `m` ( of negligible volume) atached to its one end. Find the minimum value for the mass `m` (in terms of given parameters) that would make the stick float vertically in equilibrium in a liquid of density `sigma(gtrho)`.

To solve the problem of finding the minimum mass \( m \) that will allow the wooden stick to float vertically in equilibrium in a liquid of density \( \sigma \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Volume of the Wooden Stick The volume \( V \) of the wooden stick can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder: \[ V = \pi R^2 L \] where \( R \) is the radius and \( L \) is the length of the stick. ...
