Question

You are exploring an ocean composed of strange heavy organic fluids. Normally any object under a fluid is unstable and either floats or sinks. If there is a thermocline (say warm low density, =1,100 kg/m cubed, fluid over cold high density, = 5,100 kg/m cubed, fluid) it is possible to make an object stay at a constant depth if it has a density (2,000 kg/m cubed) in between the two fluids. Your exploration vessel is a vertical cylinder, weighted to stay upright, of height 10 m. How much is above the thermocline?

a. 2.49
b. 7.75
c. 9.67
d. 22.1
e. 30.8
