Well,yes, i will start a separate thread. I was trying to know if there can be another phase aside the three phases @haruspex stated for a sinking cylinder. either way, all the derivations for this thread applies to mine. the weight of the cylinder as used for this thread can be translated as...

In this particular case, the material of the cylinder is not denser than water but a certain mass (load) is to be added to the cylinder to cause it to sink just a little below the outside water level. i.e to the point where the total weight (added mass+cylinder itself) balances the Buoyant...

Alright, great, thank you.

Aside these three phases, is there a chance that in the process of sinking, the cylinder will attain equilibrium and therefore would not sink further to a complete submersion?
