A 1-ft-diameter, 2-ft-long cylinder floats in an open tank containing a liquid having a specific weight \( \gamma \). A U-tube manometer is connected to the tank, as shown in the figure below. When the pressure in pipe \( A \) is \( 0.35 \) psi below atmospheric pressure, the various fluid levels are as shown. For the gage fluid, \( S G=1.5 \). Determine the weight of the cylinder. Note that the top of the cylinder is flush with the fluid surface. \( W= \) Ib
