A homogeneous stick of length l = 1.2 m made of a material with density p = 0.8 103 kg/m3 is hinged at one end at a height h = 40 cm above the water level and lowered at the other end into the water. At what depth h0 will the lower end of the stick be at equilibrium? At what angle is the stick inclined to the horizon?
