A hollow tilted cylindrical vessel of negligible mass rests on a horizontal plane as known. The diameter of the base is a and the side of the cylinder makes an angle with the horizontal. Water is then slowly poured into the cylinder. The cylinder topples over when the water reaches a certain height h , given by.
