A spring with spring constant 32 N/m is attached to the ceiling, and a 4.7-cm-diameter, 1.2 kg metal cylinder is attached to its lower end. The cylinder is held so that the spring is neither stretched nor compressed, then a tank of water is placed underneath with the surface of the water just touching the bottom of the cylinder. When released, the cylinder will oscillate a few times but, damped by the water, quickly reach an equilibrium position.
When in equilibrium, what length of the cylinder is submerged?
