 2.103   What are the proportions    of a right circular cylinder of specific gravity S so that it 
will float in water with end faces horizontal in stable equilibrium? 

2.104    Will a beam 4m long with square cross section, sp gr 0.75, float in 
stable equilibrium in water with two sides horizontal? 

2.105  Determine the metacentric height of the torus shown in the figure.
