| Abstract: | A cylinder having a length less than 0.707 of its diameter will float with its axis vertical while one of length exceeding one diameter floats with its axis horizontal. This transition range was investigated and under certain circumstances, two stable positions of the cylinder axis were found in each quadrant of rotation. Details of behaviour in the transition range were attributed to the edges of the square-ended cylinder. |
