A solid cylinder (radius = 0.150 m, height = 0.120 m) has a mass of 6.50 kg. This cylinder is floating in water. Then oil ( = 725 kg/m3) is poured on top of the water until the situation shown in the drawing results. How much of the height of the cylinder is in the oil?

What drawing?

In general Fb=g p V
Fb- buoyant force
g- acceleration due to gravity
p - density of liquid
V - volume of the liquid displaced by the object.

We have
Fb= Fb(oil) + Fb(water)
Fb(oil) = g p(oil) V(oil displaced)
Fb(water) = g p(water) V(water displaced)

Let me know when additional information comes to light.

Have fun
