To find the frequency of oscillations of a solid sphere floating in a liquid, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the System A solid sphere of radius \( R \) is floating in a liquid of density \( \sigma \) with half of its volume submerged. The volume of the sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \] Since half of the sphere is submerged, the submerged volume \( V_s \) is: ...
