A uniform solid cylinder of density `0.8g//cm^3` floats in equilibrium in a combination of two non-mixing liquids A and B with its axis vertical.
The densities of the liquids A and B are `0.7g//cm^3` and `1.2g//cm^3`, respectively. The height of liquid A is `h_A=1.2cm.` The length of the part of the cylinder immersed in liquid B is `h_B=0.8cm`.

(a) Find the total force exerted by liquid A on the cylinder.
(b) Find h, the length of the part of the cylinder in air.
(c) The cylinder is depressed in such a way that its top surface is just below the upper surface of liquid A and is then released. Find the acceleration of the cylinder immediately after it is released.
